    Thank you folks for your replies. I suspected it was something like what you explained but did not know the technicalities. Also I understand there has to be a limit and a fine -- just surprised they can measure it so accurately. Design for RELIABILITY, manufacturability, and maintainability

    nascar

    In the NASCAR chase race today the winner, car #78, Martin Truex, furniture ROW, the car failed the post race lazer test for the left rear wheel alignment by 10 thousandths of an inch. A very small infraction by any standard unless you are a nano-technologist. At any rate, it failed but what...

    Certain metals detectable by ground scan?

    Thanks Ed. I knew that but had forgotten. It is why they insulate layers of sheet steel in motor rotors to interrupt eddy currents Design for RELIABILITY, manufacturability, and maintainability

    Certain metals detectable by ground scan?

    Ooops - I hit the wrong key and left a truncated post I don't know the current magnetic technology, but 50 years ago it was believed that ferromagnetism was the result of unbalance electron spin. Some years later, a non-metallurgist friend said that Aluminum (non-ferromagnetic metal)will become...

    Do We Know what "Renewable Energy" means?

    I am impressed (in other words, most of it is over my head) with the hyper-technical scientific debate about the greenhouse effect but the comment that hit me hardest --- is humorous from whichever side of the fence you are standing or preaching. I almost lol'd: "My arms are getting tired from...

    What is the bonding mechanism in Soldering and Brazing?

    Quote: "...strength equal to or greater than that of the as-brazed parent metal." We proved this to be true at Metallurgical Consultants Inc. with a tensile test of two stainless steel pieces brazed in hydrogen furnace with nioro braze alloy (Nickel - Gold if memory serves. Failed in parent...

    Do We Know what "Renewable Energy" means?

    What about chem-trails? When I first heard about them, I thought the guy was not palying with a full deck. However, when you see it with your own eyes, it is more than convincing that they are spreading some kind of chemical that last much much longer than jet-streams and covers almost the...

    Do We Know what "Renewable Energy" means?

    The Night Watchman – a parody Once upon a time the government had a vast scrap yard in the middle of a desert. Congress said, "Someone may steal from it at night." So they created a night watchman position and hired a person for the job. Then Congress said, "How does the watchman do...

    Women in Engineering.

    I fail to see the relevance of evolution in this discussion. Can anyone give me one example of anything man made or natural that does not have an intelligent design? And where does intelligence fit in with evolution? ok it is off topic but I did not start it. Design for RELIABILITY...

    Retrieving a saved template 2013

    This SW2013x64 Edition SP0 Under Options/Document Properties, I chose my preferred settings for units and visual dimension scheme. Then I saved as part.prtdot (template). How do I retrieve the template to open it? Where is it actually stored? I have not closed the document so I tried a...

    Aged metallurgy books

    Maui, Thanks for the heads up. I really like the alloy comparative charts in Tool Steels and the tempering charts and everything else -- but the alloy comparative charts are elegant. Design for RELIABILITY, manufacturability, and maintainability

    Maui, I am pretty sure it is the 3rd. Either it or the Clark and Varney are the 3rd. What's up with the 5th Ed? Design for RELIABILITY, manufacturability, and maintainability

    Aged metallurgy books

    mrfailure, A mining machinery company that I worked for had a copy of the 9th Ed Failure Analysis Volume. I had highlighted and marked it up so much that I intended to buy a copy for them and keep the marked up copy with my notes but alas I was too lazy and now I am retired and don't need it...

    Aged metallurgy books

    Our great nephew has been accepted at Rolla School of Mines in Metallurgical Engineering. I went o-line to look for Physical Metallurgy for Engineers by Clark and Varney and while there saw Tool Steels by Roberts, Hamaker, and Jhonson - really cheap. So I bought those and 3 other books that...

    Sintering Atmosphere

    The op is running N2 apparently for purging or neutral atmosphere and H2. Good point "what dew point?" Yes what dewpoint is the H2? Could be H2O vaporizing - dew point? Design for RELIABILITY, manufacturability, and maintainability
