I need to compare the strength of a .5" OD, .040 wall tube made of 4130 with that of a .55" OD, .079 wall tube made of 6061 (the same length, about 4" long). Think of a telescopic motorcycle fork in miniature and you have a good idea what the setup is. I know the bend will be concentrated just...
I have a requirement for 10mm hard anodized aluminum shafting for linear bearing purposes and need to find suppliers.
So far I've only found one, I'm hoping there are others.
