    welding steel and aluminum

    Hi, Can someone tell me if it is possible to weld an aluminum plate (0.38 thk) to a steel structure? Or, would it have to be bolted. This is not for a production environment, only for a one-off design. thanks

    Source of design info. for flat belt rollers.

    You can do a search for belting using any of several search engines on the Internet. Some quick references are as follows: www.brecoflex.com www.habasit.com These are belting suppliers, and as such have extensive knowledge of rollers, and related applications. Hope this is helpful! Paul R

    Once again, I agree with Mike. I also use Russell Metals and their fabulous handbook on steel/aluminum/brass/copper and all related alloys. The Russell Metals handbook is a newer version of the older Drummond McCall handbook, if that helps any. If you're in Canada Russell Metals has branch...

    Which graphic adapter shoul I use?

    HI,<br><br>I think in the end, it's really a matter of preference, but one important guideline to follow is the speed and onboard RAM the video card has, and from most studies, an AGP video card is generally considered superior to the older PCI cards.<br><br>For instance, I found that upgrading...

    Corrosion prevention

    Steve,<br> Regarding recommended thickness of zinc on steel parts, according to ASM Materials Handbook, they suggest somewhere in the range of 0.001 to 0.002 in for severe environmental condition use. This will provide an extended service life over a thinner coating (say 0.0002 to 0.0005 in)...
