Afternoon all,
Looking for some insight. I’m making some revs to this old part, but I can’t find where the previous designers racked it for anodizing. Is it common for a plater to have the appropriate hardware (oversized stud?) to use one of the STI helicoil tapped holes to rack the part? This...
Hi all,
I am having some trouble with 316SS 10-24 FH screws backing out of their 316SS housing during system deployment. Looking to implement some sort of thread locking, but unsure of Loctite's performance in an open marine environment, and also if it arises any corrosion concerns (he housing...
Hello All,
A new rev of a product is using a 3" Schedule 80 CPVC pipe as a pressure tube and solid stock for 2 endcaps, instead our the typical anodized/painted aluminum. The product is for a long term (1-3 year) deployment in ocean water at depths up to 200m. From a sellers perspective, this...
Hi All,
Always had great help in these forums, so here's another topic I hope can help someone else too.
We are experimenting with abandoning the traditional hard assembly drawings (exploded view, fastener lines, etc.) and replacing them with an eDrawings file to be displayed on the assemblers...
Hello all,
I've inherited a project designed by a previous engineer (which we all love!) and am taking a second look at it, attempting to streamline some geometry. I've attached some images of a clevis hook used to gain a mechanical advantage by use of its lever arm. The hole shown is for a...
Hello all.
I am looking to implement a polymer insert in a load bearing hook in an effort to address corrosion being worsened by fretting in the interface. The hook is constructed of stainless for stength and corrosion resistance in a submerged marine environment. The passivation layer on the...

My issue is some pitting corrosion I am experiencing with a 316 stainless jaw that holds onto a...
