I have some questions related to the heat treating of a silicon iron bronze alloy (AMS 4616, similar to C65620). It has been an ongoing discussion at our facility for many years now. In fact, I asked a question on here a number of years ago relating to it (thread330-242181) and was provided a...
I have a question regarding dew point measurements per AMS 2769. I was wondering if anyone has dealt with this before and can help me out before I have to contact Nadcap. I assume that some of the people on here have experience with aerospace specifications such as these.
The spec reads "In...
Good Morning,
First off, let me apologize as I'm totally out of my element on this topic. I'm mostly a metallurgist and this communications stuff is above my head. Hopefully I've got this in the right forum for some help.
I've got a furnace that uses an older obsolete Honeywell UDC5000...
I am trying to find information on steel-steel adhesives. Right now, I'm fairly out of my depth so any insight I can get would help.
We currently use a one part heat curing epoxy to hold bearing halves together so that we can machine them to match. While this mostly works, we also get...
I have a part that came in for a metallurgical inspection made of Cronidur 30 (aka N360 Iso-Extra and AMS 5898). We have tried etching in both Nital and Vilella's, our standard etchants for most materials. Neither reveals much of a structure and the part also seems to have scratches afterward...
First off let me warn everyone that I'm new to the workforce and still trying to learn all I can.
Now my real question: I have a vacuum furnace that we need to add a significant amount of quench oil to, in the area of 100-200 gallons. I know that we should condition the oil overnight (heat up...
Hi Everyone!
First off let me explain that I'm new, both here and in the workforce. I just graduated college and have started a career in heat treating and metallurgy. Anyway, my question is probably pretty elementary for someone who knows the answer, but my boss/mentor is out today and I was...
