    Sulfinert information

    Could anyone help me to find information on sulfinert information. It seems to be a passivation technique of stainless steels which bonds an inert silica layer into the surface of the steel? I would like to have information on the type of this treatment (CVD, chemical conversion, ....) and if...

    Hydrogen Tightness Test and Fragilisation?

    Could anyone tell me if the hydrogen test (N2 + 5% H2 during a few minutes) to control the tightness of a product can degrade material properties?

    Demagnetization threshold

    We have principally flat products made of bearing steels from 6 to 12 mm thick. The parts are fine blanked and heat treated to obtained a hardness of 700-800 HV. The geometries of the different parts are rarely symetric.

    Demagnetization threshold

    Many thanks for your information. Could you give me the reference of the IMA specification concerning the demagnetization level?I do not find it on the web.

    Demagnetization threshold

    MagMike : Concerning our research, we'd like to know when our parts made of bearing steels are "correctly" demagnetized and how measure them (pb of local magnetization in complex geometry despite global demagnetization). The demagnetization is important for us for machining, non destructive...

    Demagnetization threshold

    Could anyone help me to give a physical (idealy quantitative) basis on the evaluation of a demagnetization threshold? We need that the magnetization is low enough not to attract ferrous shavings or filings. Our practical upper limit is 8 Gauss (640 a/m) of residual magnetization. An other...

    Ntrile seal in dry atmospher

    Could anyone tell me if there is a problem in using nitrile seal in dry atmospher?

    feriite delta and electrolytic polishing ?

    We are talking about connecting parts manufacture from bars requiring a high property and the customer could see with a bad eye an irregular aspect. The EP has also the function of increasing the corrosion resistance.

    feriite delta and electrolytic polishing ?

    I have not yet any information about its history. But we have carried out several tests of decontamination in nitric bath without result

    feriite delta and electrolytic polishing ?

    We have pb with the surface of some parts made in 316L after an electrolytic polishing. The microstrucutre examination reveals an large amount of ferrite delta and we wonder if it could explain the aspect of the surface (like a presence of a white layer)

    Compressive stresses in induction treatment?

    I would like to complete this thread with new measurements of the residual stress : the values are more likely up to 700-800 MPa in tension in the direction of the thickness (on an approximately 70 µm depth) all along the martensitic zone whereas we have -500MPa on the faces. It is interesting...

    Spring failure analysis

    Helical compression spring I didn't calculate the stresses It is for cylcic use Dimensions : wire Ø = 4.5 mm / spring Ø ext = 22.5 mm Total length in free condition = 46.8 mm Total length in contiguous spir = 32.35 mm Spir number = 6.69 Frequency utilisation = 20 Hz Material : oil quenched...

    Spring failure analysis

    We have problems to understand some spring fracture facies. It works under compression, with probably some times flexion stress. We are interested in web sites which show fracture facies linked with explications, like initiating, propagation and final break

    rust caracterisation

    Thank you for your advices. We use these kind of products either between operations and on the final parts. But the problems occur at subcontractors or on raw materials.... That's why we need a mean to confimr or not the presence of rust and a curating method when the rust presnce is confimed.

    Compressive stresses in induction treatment?

    No decarburation can be seen on the micrography, only a fine analysis ("microsonde") could put a partial decarburation in evidence. In fact, I beleived that the high frequency treatment was short enough to avoid any decarburation problems in depth. But to complete the description of our...
