Images of the other two parts, which leads me to suspect they were not manufactured in two pieces. Also, it is possible to put them back together perfectly, which also leads to believe it is not an interference fit...
I doubt he could have saved any time and money in fitting two parts together. The ovality of the surfaces, irregualrities and taper are very complex. None of the machinists I've asked can guess at how it was created by normal manufacturing techniques. (except possible casting one into the...
CoryPad, IRstuff, I think you have misunderstood the images. It took a tiny force to mislodge the two parts, I could have done it in my hands. The fault line does NOT follow the change in cross section, is NOT concentric, is slightly oval, and tapered. There is another part where the fault line...
Hi Guys,
Yes, it should be one part, but under light pressure in the press the flange came away, but the fault line does not follow the hub/flange change in cross section, it's a little wider, and on other parts it is within the hub.
I think the stock material is extruded or drawn bar along...
Hi,
I've had a some turned parts come in the from a supplier, made from Aluminium 6082-T6. These parts provide a seal in an oil filled vessel. On assembly some oil was noticed leaking from a tiny witness line, and curiosity led to putting the part in a press and this happened... See pictures...
