They make an excellent actuator and can custom fit to your requirements.
Generally, if your radiation level is below 1 E4 rads TID, it is considered mild environment. At this level just about any material is qualified to be used. The company I work for has taken material to 1 E7 in various configurations.
If you are intending to sell to the Nuke Power industry, you...
I am using a heavy (1500#/in.) compression spring already designed by the spring supplier using SMI Spring Designer.

If you don't get info from someone with closer experience, I may have notes in some of my old references.
If your looking into steels, try a compendium book such as ASM's steels of the world. It lists steels in order of carbon content. If you find an ISO spec there should be an ASTM designation very close to it.
I have found that some steels have no corresponding matches.
Can anyone give me guidance on radiation exposure qualification of materials? I am looking for the relative levels allowed and how that refers to long and sure term accumulated doses.
Dear John,<br><br>Looks like you have run into the lubrication problem of keeping you friction materials apart. Morgan Construction makes a fluid bearing that is similar to an air bearing. When the rotation was stopped, the inside sleeve and the outside sleeve came into contact. They developed a...
Need more info on what you want to do. Just heat one bar, heat one at a time for a few or many? Production in a plant or do you want to do at home? Is there a limit on your budget?
You might want to contact the Bridge tender group in New Bedford, MA. They were replacing the gears on the swinging bridge there. I believe they were using FALK out of Milwaukee.<br><br><A HREF="http://www.falkcorp.com/" TARGET="_new">http://www.falkcorp.com/</A>
