Hello all,
I'm working on a new procedure at work (machinist/welding), and I've gotten conflicting answers on the formulas I need. I just started a ME program, but we haven't covered this yet.
I'm trying to shrink fit a stainless steel ring onto a stainless shaft, rather than us welding it up and machining it down.
The OD of the ring is 120mm, with an ID of 114mm and a width of 7mm. The shaft is 114 mm, with no ID. I'm trying to do the largest shrink fit I can, without causing materiel failure in the ring.
I can do the calcs for how strong the fit is, but I'm having trouble finding the calc for the max interference fit I can have without causing the ring to fail. It's a non-load bearing part. It's there to act as a corrosion barrier.
I've seen online calculators, but I'd rather know the math and theory behind it, if anyone can point me in the right direction.
Thanks!
Jeremy
