    ASME equivalent of European Investment Casting Standard

    Can anyone tell me what the ASME equivalent is of the European standard for investment casting tolerances (VDG P690)? The abstract of "ASTM A985 / A985M - 04a" seems to indicate that this standard specifies the casting process and inspection requirements. Does this standard also specify the...

    Complete Engineering Drawings

    Thanks! This looks like a very good reference. I will definitely be getting this. Let me clarify my request a little. I am looking for a standard that could be referenced in a contract. For example, if we were to sub-contract the engineering of one of our new product lines to a third party...

    I hope this issue was not covered before. I am looking for a standard that outlines the minimum requirements of a drawing in order for it to be acceptable for manufacturing. I have the following Standards in-house: -ASME Y14.5M 1994 Dimensioning and Tolerancing -ASME Y14.24-1999 Types and...

    Finishes and Part Numbering

    Thanks Kenat! That makes sense. It turns out that it will be a long term situation. So I will have one drawing that shows the various versions in the raw state before receiving the painting. Then I will have another drawing with a one line BOM calling on the bare part. Purchasing agreed that...

    Finishes and Part Numbering

    I have a part that can be ordered in a variety of colors (powder coated). The drawing is set up as a tabbed drawing with different versions: 100713-01 = Widget, 2.850 Lng., Powder Coat (Weatherable Silver). 100713-02 = Widget, 2.850 Lng., Powder Coat (Black Wrinkle). 100713-03 = Widget, 2.550...

    Corrosion of Black Oxide

    The tolerances of the parts are critical. What type of dimensional change does the zinc phosphate + e-coat or powder coat cause?

    Corrosion of Black Oxide

    Sorry if this has been covered before... I have two steel parts (Aut20 & 18MnCr5) that need to pass a 200 hr salt spray test (ASTM B117). I read that a black oxide finish can withstand 200 hrs of salt spray if the proper sealant is used. http://www.pfonline.com/articles/pfd0025.html Is it...

    Document Control

    MrMikee, I agree. That is the source that I have been using. I have found it to be very helpful and I would highly recommend it to others. I am still looking for some other helpful reading material. If you have any other references, especially for beginners (like a CM for Dummies)I would be...

    Document Control

    Thanks all for your helpful answers. I am very aware of the bass ackwards approach that is being taken here. In reality I am not the best person for the job. I am the only person for the job!!! It is a very frustrating situation, but that is another topic for another string. The attitude that I...

    Document Control

    MadMango: I don't have a whole lot of experience. I worked in the Document Control department while attending school. Later in my career I helped to pioneer some Document Control standards and helped in ISO certification. So I do have some exposure, however; I consider myself at ground zero...

    Secondary Operation Drawings

    Thanks all for the helpful input. fcsuper: Funny you should ask about my company's system! Before I joined the company, there was no system in place. Just a folder on the network with CAD files and a spreadsheet for assigning drawing numbers. No consistent part numbering system, no "used-on"...

    Secondary Operation Drawings

    Here is my situation: We have a part that we would like to have machined by a local fab shop or our overeas plant. These sources can produce large quantities of the basic machined parts at a significantly lower cost than our in house machine shop. However, the secondary operations drastically...
