Does anyone know of a tool (other than magnetic) that will hold a #6 pan head torx bit TAPTITE (thread forming screw)while it is installed into an approximately 4 inch deep housing using an electric torque driver? These fasteners are used to restrain a PCB into the housing, so whatever used...
During some recent "re-work", a fellow engineer at our company discovered corrosion on stainless steel screws that were removed from threaded holes that were tapped in aluminum 6061. MOST all of the hardware we build is machined out of 6061, and most ALL the fasteners we use are stainless...
Could anyone recommend a straight forward reference that can be used to obtain material compatibilities for metals? I have Mil-Std-889, but find it very confusing.
I need some help determining how to convert from a Shock Response Spectrum plot back to the appropriate Shock Pulse level and duration. The customer spec. contains a four coordinate plot which I think is called a Fourier/Pseudo-Velocity Spectrum. This plot shows the "pseudo-velocity" on the...
I am experimenting with using caustic etch to aid with deburring some otherwise difficult to deburr parts. This has yielded some encouraging results, but I need to know if there will be any effects on the material properties. Our manufacturing procedure calls for on a one minute soak (max)...
I am currently composing an MP on deburring brazed waveguide components. In doing this I need a conclusive definition of what a "burr" is. Does anyone know where I might find a formal definition for "burr"??
