CoryPad, the surface finish is more related to the material composition rather than hardness, correct?

What is the process to determine how hard a components surface should be, but more importantly how do you determine how deep the the hardness should travel? Thanks

I need to have a 3/8" round bar finsihed with a surface finsh of 12-16 microinches. Is this something that is going to be achievable using 8620 or 4340 without being heat treated and being ground. The part would be machined on a lathe. Is there a rule of thumb on what surface finish is...

Works like a champ thanks.

Works like I champ thanks.

For the the life of me I cannot figure out why the thumbnails previews will not work in Windows Explorer. I've ensured that the check box is checked in Solidwork's options menu and done some other checking in WindowsXP. It is rather odd as I can preview pdfs through the thumbnails. I have...

Thanks everyone, by splitting the circle it worked out.

For the life of me I can't get this to work. What I am trying to do is draw a 3" OD pipe (.065" wall") elbow that gets swedge up to 3.25" OD after the bend. I don't want use a loft as it cannot be dimmensioned correctly enough for the pipe bender. The problem comes into to play when trying to...

Sorry the 1300° is the maximum temperature would see. Standard operating temperatres would be in the range of 600°-700°. The assembly sits in the exhaust of a diesel engine. So you would have plenty of carbon soot, moisture, CO... expelled from the engine.

We are currently investigating a replacement bushing material for C95400 aluma bronze. Our application operating temperatures are now reaching 1300° which is far above the maximum operating temperature of the C95400. For the application, the bushing is pressed into a cast iron housing. A 303...

I am looking for some tips regarding configuring a hollow tube that has a number lofts for use in Floworks 05. No matter how I configure the "Lids/caps" for each end I always run into the dreaded error that the object does not exist in the fluid boundry when creating boundry conditions. At...

sae j1459 was what i ended up using after contacting dayco and goodyear, and only hearing back from dayco, they sent me a copy of sae j1459

looking for specs on designing an 8vgroove pulley goodyear belt part number is 4081261 however, the angles of the groove, depth and width is what im looking for.

the reservoir that i picture is small in volume (.200 litre) but will hold a 'non-compressible' fluid at a given pressure( 25000-30000 psi) would it be possible to use gas as a spring to place a force on teh fluid when the fluid pump is not creating pressure. in order to reduce the pressure...

thanks mjcole that sounds exactly like what we did.
