SS Stability
SS Stability
(OP)
In Astropysics equip there is a tendancy to use SS for bearing elements
No rust
I worry that some parts I make such as a bearing elements from 316, at dimensions 120
x 60 by 12 thick out of bright bar
What is your estimate of stability over time with out heat treat

RE: SS Stability
You just need to work within its low strength and high thermal expansion.
