I am currently working on analyzing the capability of using shrink fit (Most likely with induction shrink fitting) to heat up a steel hub (1045 steel) so that it can slide onto a shaft. Using the tolerances from the tables obtained in the machinery handbook for a FN5 fit I have an estimated...
I was assigned a task of researching the capability of heat shrinking two metal parts (Rod and Sleeve/Hub) together instead of the current process of welding them. Unfortunately I am an intern and I have very limited knowledge on tolerancing and none on heat shrinking.
From what I was able to...
I'm currently working as a mechanical engineering intern and I was assigned a research project involving heat shrinking two metal components as a possible alternative to welding.
The main resource I am using is the machinery handbook (26ed) which does give me formula's for calculating allowance...
