Hi, I'm looking for a long cylindrical bearing to press on 3/16" shaft, would need to be 2" long and as small OD as possible. Any thoughts?

Hi, I'm looking for a reference that compares the fatigue properties of steel (mild to medium strength) to titanium (Ti-6Al-4V ideally). I'm having some difficulty finding directly comparable data. Thanks!

Great post BCD - thanks for that!

jbeckhou you can see some summary data at http://www.sm-100.com let me know if you want to see more details.

Basically yes, but they have to be technical and have the connections already.

We're in Pittsburgh, but don't care as long as consultant is in the USA. Thanks.

Hi All, we developed a material, SM-100, over the past few years with NASA that they literally call "corrosion proof" - with equally impressive wear properties. Uses include bearings, valve seats and other components, etc. We're at a point now where we're looking for consulting help in finding...

Hi All - we have a material, SM-100, that was developed for bearing and wear applications and recently picked up a valve maker that is saying the material is fantastic for seats and other components. It is an area, however, where we lack any experience or connections and are looking for a...

I'll go ahead and try glass then - I'll let you know how it works in about a month. Thanks again.

Mike, no the tube will be put partially into a hose that is pulling a vacuum so the outside of the tube will be in atmosphere.

Thanks for all the responses! But I'm not getting what you're saying, I need the tube to be closed on the bottom and the top open so I can 'shove' it inside a vacuum hose. Then we want to pull a vacuum and see what happens to something that will be in the 'tube'. It's been in a steel tube up...

Hacksaw - around 10 mT would be the max (or I guess the min!).

Hi, I'm trying to find a material that is clear (possibly acrylic?) that I can hook up to a vacuum pump for some testing we need to do. The ideal solution would be something that is 3/8" dia and it only needs to be 4 or 5 inches long - a test tube would be perfect, but it has to stand up to a...

Hi All - we're on the hunt for a hot rolling mill to roll some material for us on a fairly regular basis. Need to be at least 12" wide. The sticking point is that we need to be be able to slow the mill speed down - we're finding this isn't a common feature that people have. Any leads would be...

Thanks!
