    17-4 PH GO/NO GO gauge

    Thanks for the replies! I will be checking the ID of a 6101 aluminum tube with this gauge at 68 deg Fahrenheit. The tolerance on my gauge is +/-.0005. @NickE, Would I be able to use those materials (01 or A2) without heat treating? My boss wants the gauges as cheap as possible. Any opinions...

    17-4 PH GO/NO GO gauge

    Hopefully this question is in the right place. I was wodnering if any one could provide me with some advice on what type of steel I should use for some GO/NO GO gauges I'm having made. I currently selected 17-4 PH steel but I'm wondering if thats over kill. Thanks!
