    Consistent 1300L cure

    I am looking for a combined heater and blower unit similar to an industrial heat gun for heat shrink tubing, but one that could be mounted upon a box type structure and be vented to act like a kiln-like system. Max temp 100 deg F. I need to cure 3M 1300L which is a contact adhesive. The...

    Acceptable magnetism from machining

    Can anyone tell me an acceptable level of magnetism from the maching operation? ie. grinding. I am informed that there is some level permissible, but am yet to have that quantified. A Gauss level? regards

    Property that permits magnetism

    I believe the property required in a material that permits a desired level of magnetism is called "permeability", but I have also heard "permittivity" used. Is there a way to measure a raw material to define if it is suitable for magnetizing to a certain Gauss level. We have some magnets that...

    BeCu ribbon Alternate

    We use a BeCu ribbon in one of our loudspeakers. It is under constant vibration/movement and we therefore need the constant flexibility (elasticity?) property of this material. Does anyone know of an alternate material that will withstand constant movement and heat up to 80 deg c without...

    Torque on Cross head screws

    Can anyone direct me to a repeatable, accurate, measurable way to tighten cross head screws. We are using an electric screwdriver and #1 bit currently but the charge on the screwdriver eventually diminishes, the bit eventually gets worn (replaced every 4 weeks) and the assemblers change. I am...

    Inspection of a fabric diaphragm

    Hi, can anyone tell me how I would accurately inspect a round diaphragm that begins at the outer edge as a horizontal face, moves inwards, blends into a sine-wave form (3x pitches) blends into a horizontal, then blends into an angle and ends at a through hole. The part is made of fabric and I...

    Yellow Zinc ASTMB633 type 2 in holes

    Hi, am I asking too much of this application to expect it to reach inside a dia 10 mm hole x 15 mm deep. Parent material is AISI 1008 Steel. What is the limiting "aspect ratio" or min dia hole? Also, I see discoloration at the point of contact from the "hanging wire". I believe it to be from the...

    Neodimium magnets

    We have a couple of our neodimium magnets plated in Nickel. ASTMB633 We need a test for our receiving inspection other than the std "peel test" to test for adhesion, which does not appear to catch all the discrepant parts. Any ideas are welcome. Regards

    T651 versus T6 Aluminum

    I am told that T6 and T651 are "basically" the same. I stress relieve T6 in-house at 320-350 deg for 4 hrs after machining and that has worked fine. I believe that T651 is already stress relieved via stretching. Can I use the same technique without altering the FINAL properties too much?

    Cad Plate v Alcohol

    We cleaned an inkstamp part mark with alcohol and the cad plating came right off, exposing the nickel plating beneath. I was unaware that alcohol would remove cad. Is this just poor plating/poor adhesion?

    V.A.R.

    Can anyone shed any light on this material. I have heard the phrase "Vacuum Arc Remelt" but what does that mean. I believe it is stainles but what are its properties and application. i.e. why would we use this?

    NPT versus FNPT

    I have a drawing which displays FNPT. I am familiar with NPT and its variants but not this one. What about FPT. Any info is appreciated.
