    440 C SS corrosion

    Some of my co-workers suggested we use PASSIVATE IAW ASTM A967, SAE AMS2700 vs. PASSIVATE PER SAE AMS-QQ-P-35, TYPE II (current passivation). Would that be helpful?

    440 C SS corrosion

    What is the typical Molycote Z Powder coating thickness? Very important, as I have a distance of 0.001" between the shaft and the bearing.

    440 C SS corrosion

    OK, I found Everlube 9002, MoS2, meets MIL-PRF-46010F and temperature range. Should work.

    440 C SS corrosion

    My product is for aircrafts. Do I start with MoS2 application? Any documents/MIL standards on that, please?

    Grilamid L16 nat vs. Grilamid L 25 nat

    I have a small Polysulfone, 20% Glass, 15% TFE part with OD of .03". This part will be overmolded with injection molding material. This material has 93% NeFeB powder, and the rest is Nylon 12 binder. The resultant part OD is .1". We have used Grilamid L16 nat as the binder so far. The compounder...

    440 C SS corrosion

    Israelkk, You are right about Military, Aerospace application. MIL-PRF-46010G, p.6.9 reads: 6.9 Aerospace Components – Types I and II lubricants previously found under MIL-L-0046010E are now under SAE Aerospace Standard AS5272. The SAE document still allows and use lead material to meet...

    440 C SS corrosion

    Israelkk, Yes, I have the same understanding of this situation. I am reading the MIL spec you recommended for the lubricant.

    440 C SS corrosion

    Edstainless, It is a DC application. No, it will be not saturated. It is a part of the coil core. There is another part of the coil core, which plays a major role. Shaft plays a minor role in the magnetic circuit. Sorry, I have NO data on 440C magnetism. If two materials you suggested are...

    440 C SS corrosion

    To EdStainless I understand HT is heat treatment, correct? If this material is tempered above 370C, Chromium carbide will precipitate, and it is not Stainless any more. Is that what you mean?

    440 C SS corrosion

    My problem is this shaft is a part of a magnetic circuit. I have no data for 440 C, or alloys you recommended. Are they comparable in regards of BH curve? Or comparable in regards of Coercivity and Residual flux density?

    440 C SS corrosion

    There is NO lubricant. The distance between the bearing and the shaft is .001" each side. However, the load is very low. Temperature: mostly room but can be from -65C to +125C. See the picture...

    440 C SS corrosion

    This part has been passivated per AMS-QQ-P-35, TYPE II. It is a shaft .025" OD. Hardness: 580 to 820 HV under 500g load. It appears it has some surface corrosion. Microscope observation shows small pits. Corrosion product is black. This shaft works together with a bearing, which is made of...

    Plastic selection

    Thank you for this input. I assume colorants can be added to all of them. Also too: can I glue 2 parts of the same material together? I know for PTFE I can, if I etch the surfaces.

    Plastic selection

    Cloa, 1. No contact with solvents. 2. UV resistance not needed (indoor, low light). Thank you.
