Absolutely, I will consult with some local suppliers regarding equipment specific concerns. Also, I am also looking into the Nicrobraz brazing alloy as a solution to this as well, so DVWE I do have a lot of thinking to do here. I suppose it will come down to when I actually have a concrete...

btrueblood, thanks for the advice, but I have had experiences where the temperature was too high and the parts came back fully distorted, so I definitely want to avoid that. Thanks to inclesyd (great links by the way), I have been looking into orbital welding and it seems like it will work...

Unfortunately, I do not know exactly what the intended use is, but the customer does R&D for vehicle emissions. I assume either combustion gases or fuels will flow through. At the moment, I am unsure of the quantity, but it could be in the thousands per year. If I go with brazing, I would have...

Hello all. I have a task that requires me to decide on a method for joining two stainless steel thin walled tubes (see attachment). I am looking at either arc welding or brazing, but my concern is that I have only worked with mild steel material. I am leaning towards brazing because large...

Thank you all for your quick and knowledgeable responses. It has been very helpful. Now, looking at the chem. comp. of 1020, it seems as though it is better suited for forging. It contains very little Si and no Pb nor Cu, which are elements that lead to hot shortness. Does anyone have experience...

Hi all, I am unfamiliar with the forging capabilites of AISI 12L14. I would like to know if there are any issues with forging this particular carbon steel. The reason I ask is because a supplier of ours is requesting a material change request stating that the material is too soft for forge...

Thanks...greatly appreciated!

Great help guys. I did some reasearch based on btrueblood's reply and looks like MS33656 has been replaces by AS4395. Does anyone know where I can obtain this one? Thanks... -Vic

Actually looking for the AN971 document itself. If anyone has it or know where I can obtain it, I would greatly appreciate it. -Vic

Hi all, I need help finding the document or specification sheet that lists the thread types and classes for AN971-04. i tried a google search and was unsuccessful. Thanks in advance! -Vic

Thanks a ton, that makes my life easier. I should've asked sooner, since all of my trial and errors resulted in the wasteful death of trees!

Hi all, perhaps this is an easy one, but as I've stated in the past I am a newbie to SW. I would like to know how to print the light grey dimension lines and the drawing border lines darker. I don't want to change the color altogether from the tools-options-colors menu, I want to keep them...

Will do. Thanks for all of the help... -VM

Ahh...thanks for the tip. I used the first method to make my BACK view the new FRONT view and it work perfectly fine, except the coordinate system axes do not change (at the lower left of the screen). I was expecting them to re-orient themselves to x-> but rather x remained facing <-. Next time...

I created an assembly and it turns out that I have assembled it in the incorrect views. My actual TOP view shoudl be my FRONT view. Is there an easy way to reset/re-assign the original coordinate system so that I can make my TOP view become my FRONT view? I don't want to go back and redo the...

Jeff, Thanks so much, I got it! That wasn't so bad, just a newbie trying to get familiar. Another question: I suppose this is a matter of preference, but is it better to show two views of the full length of the assembly: One with the clamps & outer hose, and the other hiding the clamps and the...

Thanks Jeff, Do u know if I can section only the outer hose and not the other components? -VM

Hi all, Thanks for the help! I can hide one clamp (right side) but I wanted to hide only half of the outer hose (althought it is one piece). I was hoping that adding a 'break' to seperate the right and the left and then hide only the right that way. I haven't been successful. -VM

Hi all, I am a newbie to SolidWorks and would like to know if there is any way to either 'section' or 'hide' only some components in a drawing view of an assembly. I am working on a model of a tube inside another tube held via clamps on each end. On the drawing view, I want to show the left...

EdStainless, Is it best to simply go with a supplier that can actually performs a Vickers test and meet the specified range as opposed to going with someone which would require hardness conversion? I am fairly new and do not want to screw anything up. As you mentioned, >5 deviation can...
