Good Afternoon/morning,
I am looking for an alternative to 4140 normalized and tempered steel. The customer is looking for material, steel and non-steel, that has a minimum yield strength of 60,000 psi and a max tensile strength of 240,000 psi.
So far we've found a few alternative materials but...
I've recently been tasked to help understand our true capacitance of our moly-manufacturing cell. This consists of a few horizontal and vertical CNC machines. I'm relatively new dipping my toes in the role as Manufacturing Engineer, besides logging setup times and run rates per piece and per...
Hello,
I've been tasked to compare the vacuum conductance of a new design vs an old system.
The old system is a 10 ft long capped pipe(6 in ID) with three 12 in long/1 in ID pipes drilled in perpendicular. The first pipe is 1 ft away from the open end, and the remaining pipes are at a distance...
Hello,
I am currently looking for a material that has similar properties to Alumina.
In the past we've looked at alternatives Albemet 162, 6061 Aluminum, 303 SST, AlSic, Titantium, 99% Alumina, Moly alloys, and T-Con.
Looking at something that has high stiffness, stronger than, or as strong...
Our current customer has a part that's made out of 1020 Steel. We're having oxidation issues with the part. The part is shipped off for some outside machining, where the job shop soaks them in WD-40. After this the parts are then shipped off to be nickel plated. The plater has stated that the...
Our company has several different customers that require their parts to cleaned and "polished" to differing degrees. 95% of our orders have only 5 different types of finishing requests. We use jitterbugging and scotch-brite pads to achieve the proper finish, and depending on the customer...
Hello,
I currently work for a company that makes products out of moly alloys, aluminum and stainless steel. These products are about 1 mm to 4 mm thick and 100mm to 300 mm in width. These products are sent out to be anodized or coated for some sort of protection.
When the parts are sent back we...
