I am currently working a project that requires the use of metric sized beams. Parker Steel International provided data for general sizing and drafting.
What I need now is firm engineering data; section modulus, moments of inertia, etcetera.
The particular beams that I am currently interseted...
I am looking for a material coating which can be applied to cast iron that will protect the cast iron when submerged into a molten aluminum bath. The coating would have to withstand 1400F temperatures, moderate abrasion, and expand similar to the cast iron. I would prefer to keep the coating...
I am reviewing the manufacturing process of a cone shaped piece currently made of 8620 material. The material is cut flat and rolled into the cone shape, cold working the 8620. @28" large diameter, 16" small diameter. Then a mild steel mounting ring and base are welded to it. The...
I am reviewing a MSDS of a product that shows the evaporation rate as:
{Evaporation rate (BU-AC=1) = 0.03}
This is similar to vapor density using air as 1. However, I do not know what BU-AC is or its evaporation rate. Can anyone explain this?
Thanks in advance, RLJ s-)
Are there any good down loadable spread sheets for determining proper OD expansion of a round steel tube when heated to several hundred degrees F.
Thanks RLJ s-)
We have an electric overhead crane that was manufactured in 1892 using riveted girder construction. The maufacturer has recommended that it be taken out of service. I assume their reasoning is that the bridge has reached its fatigue cycle limits. In addition, we are aware that the steel will...
We have a 60 Ton electric overhead crane in our facility that was manufactured in 1892. The bridge is riveted construction and has a 60'-0" span. The manufacturer has advised that we remove it from service, without any physical inspection, I assume simply because of its age and the...
We are looking into methods to dismantle a cast-iron frame for a large planer. The Frame consists mainly of (2) two columns, each approximately 22" wide X 142" deep X 25'-0" high with 2" wall thickness with internal support webbing. There is very little perimeter room and...
