This question almost seems too simple to post, but here it goes.
I have a diameter callout on a drawing that is preceeded by the diametrical symbol. The dimension with tolerance is 80.0 +/-0.15 mms. Is it acceptable to measure this dimension via CMM by taking a large number of hits around the...
Could anyone please advise on the approximate price/lb for 1" x 1" square bar stock in the following materials?
SS 17-4 ph
SS 416
Steel 4340
Assume a minimum of 5,000 ft of 1" x 1" bar cut to 5" sections.
I am looking at these two materials (4140 vs 4340) for my application, as suggested by users of this forum. I have a 62" octagonal bar (1" flat to flat) heat treated to a minimum of 150k UTS. I need to machine a square bar to my shape and then heat treat. I need the bar to hold tolerences and...
I have an application where I currently use AL 6061-T6, machine and then apply a Type II anodize. My parts are getting dented and nicked up. Appearance is then compromised. I want to find a suitable material alternative (Aluminum) that will increase the surface hardness (reduce blemishes)...
I have an application where I am running a radial SS bearing (0.2" wide, 0.625" O.D.) over a SS bar flat in a linear motion. The bearing travels back and forth over a 2 ft. section. The bearing is loaded down onto the bar as it rolls with up to a maximum of 50 lbs of force. The bearing O.D...
My product application is in the fitness industry. We have working prototypes but need to define our material selection for production quantities. The product requires an octagon shape bar that is 1.0" flat to flat. (4) of the (8) sides have a 0.9" deep by 0.35" wide channel machined into...
I have an application where I am specifying a SS for a 1" bar ~5' long that will be subject to a bending load (i.e. supported on the ends and loaded in the middle). I am looking at 303 (drawn to 100,000psi), 416 H900 temper & 17-4 H900 temper. These materials are being evaluated based on...
