    Mechanical Properties of 1060 or 1566 Steel?

    I checked Matweb initally. No luck on those grades. McMaster-Carr end up coming through. They are awesome. For reference 1060/1566 grade: Tensile: 335,000 PSI-Case; 100,000 PSI-Core Yield: 250,000 PSI-Case; 75,000 PSI-Core Casey

    Mechanical Properties of 1060 or 1566 Steel?

    We use precision ground and case hardened shafting made of 1060 or 1566 steel. I am trying to find the tensile and yield strength of either of these grades. Thanks for any info anyone can offer. Casey

    Terminal Connection Block

    Anyone know where I can find a 9 post terminal block to install in the conduit box of an electric motor. Our customer does not want to make the wire to wire connections with the motor leads. The motors are 9-lead, 3-phase, dual-voltage. I have seen this terminal block setup used quite often on...

    Pressure Vessel Discharge Time

    Thanks Rich, that was the information I was looking for.

    Pressure Vessel Discharge Time

    I am trying to calculate the amount of time it will take compressed air to discharge from a pressure vessel through an orifice. Here are the varibles. Vessel volume at 14.7 PSI: 11.52 cubic feet Filled Pressure: 120 PSI Volume of compressed air at 120 PSI: 94.04 cubic feet Orifice Diameter...

    Flow/Pressure Formula

    Thank you for the replies on this post. I have not had much opportunity to deal with fluid flow calculations. I think I just had to develope a good understanding of Q=AVK and how to convert it into the units I needed. I set up a spreadsheet to perform all of my pressure, flow, and orifice...

    Flow/Pressure Formula

    I could calculate the pressure drop if I knew the pressure I was starting with. I am trying to determine the pressure required to produce the flow required.

    Flow/Pressure Formula

    I am looking for a simple formula to determine the amount of pressure required to cause a certain amount of water to flow through a certain size opening. To be specific, what pressure is required to make 26.4 GPM of water flow through a .50" opening? Estimated orifice coefficient: .97 Ambient...

    1144 CD Steel vs. 1144 Stressproof

    Could someone tell me if the mechanical properties for 1144 CD are the same at the core of the material as they are at the surface. I would think they would be the same since the entire cross section of material is being compressed as it is being cold drawn. This is not considering any heat...

    1144 CD Steel vs. 1144 Stressproof

    Thanks for all of the replies and input. We ended up specifying "ASTM A108 1144 COLD DRAWN STEEL -OR- STESSPROOF ASTM A311 CLASS B 1144 CD STEEL" Mechanical properties work for either material and it solved a purchasing/vendor problem. I am sure they will be asking to use a different material...

    1144 CD Steel vs. 1144 Stressproof

    It appears the mechanical properties are similar between 1144 CD and 1144 Stressproof. Any reason not to use 1144 CD if mechanical properties are acceptable? Basically wondering if the are any hidden disadvantages to 1144 CD. This material will be used for motor shafts. Considering listing...

    Using a Pump as a Motor

    I would like to use water power to drive a pump and create rotary motion. The rotory motion will be used to create vibration. I want to duplicate the vibration I am currently producing with an electric vibrator. The electric vibrator is 1/3 HP and operates at 1,750 RPM. At this point, I do not...

    Solidworks Toolbox Problem

    We have made the standard toolbox work pretty well with our system. We enter the p/n and descr in the configuration properties each time we insert a new fastener/create a new configuration. This works well with the BOM and all the info is retained next time we insert the fastner. Our main...

    Solidworks Toolbox Problem

    Yes, the toolbox is 2004 format. I remember the toolbox going through a conversion process when we did the 2004 install. We had this problem in 2003 and were hoping the move to 2004 would fix it. No such luck. Our current tool box version is 12.0.0

    Solidworks Toolbox Problem

    We have been very fustrated by the toolbox and smart fasteners. I have had cases were SW will put a smart fastener in an extruded cut on a part I imported from Mechanical Desktop 4.0, and it will not put a smart fastener in a hole I created with the hole wizard on a new part in SW. It is almost...

    Solidworks Toolbox Problem

    We have two seats of SW 2004. We are sharing the toolbox on a network drive on our Win 2000 server. All computer equipment if fairly recent. Network connection is 100 MPS. Our major problem is the toolbox seems very slow when inserting fasteners. It takes around 30 seconds for a fastener to...
