If you know this classic example, the idea is that a society can produce x amount of guns or y amount of butter...
A few areas of it are nearly 1/2 in (125mm) thick, but the thickness through most of it is about .170 in (43mm). The application regularly cycles the part in the 150 - 250°F (65-120°C) range and doesn't really have significant pressures or aggressive materials on it, but is cleaned quite...
Thanks for your help. I am now looking to find the NPL report coolkid referenced. Also, the lower 1024 C temp sounds like a more typical number as I dig into this further, plus the quench to below 250 is a noteworthy addition mentioned by TVP. The notes I have indicate an even steeper quench...
I am looking for the optimum heat treatment to make a more homogenous part for an investment cast Ti-6-4 machining blank. My ultimate goal is to make it more machineable for a fine surface finish (<10RMS).
What I have so far is that I think the cycle should be a solution treatment above the...
