Threads into Carbon?
Threads into Carbon?
(OP)
Hi,
Could I drill and tap into Carbon MY10A. I'm trying to ascertain whether this material could be threaded or whether I should use inserts?
If inserts are required, anyone got some details of the type to use?
Many thanks,
John

If it is a fibre composite then I would expect that you would use an aluminium insert. If its brick carbon like an electrode it can be tapped, just the strength will not be very high.

I have now found the company that supplied that material and will get the correct spec. I'll post the exact spec. At least now with your help I should be able to make an informed decision!
