Besides the environmental differences, is there really any difference to the end product between these 2 surface treatment processes? Hardness, Aesthetics, Durability, Part Deformation would be key characteristics.
I'm having trouble holding minor diameter tolerances and major diameter tolerances in a ZA-27 Casting. The casting includes a hole (.349" Min .359" Max" - 3/8" in length) and we are trying to thread the entire length M10 X 1. Using cutting taps and form taps, we struggle to hold standard...
I have not been able to find much information regarding torque values applied to jam nuts, so hopefully this discussion will share useful knowledge.
Situation: I have two pieces of material that rotate about each other via a shoulder bolt. The shoulder bolt gets torqued to 55 ft-lbs into part...
We have come across a situation in which we have 2 bends on a 5/8" dia. bar of 440C stainless, annealed and recorded at 225 Brinell, where we have compressive failure on the one bend and not the other. The bar is 20" in length with 2-90 degree bends located 5 inches apart. The bar also gets...
I am trying to avoid plating, coating, etc. on a hardened part but still need for it to resist corrosion. I'm heat treating a part made of 1141 to Rc 58. The company hardening my part is using the furnace then performing the quenching in an oil bath. In this typical application can I assume...
