bmoorthy,
I have several qualified weld procedures for 4130. However, I am assuming you are trying to qualify welding procedure - please do not weld any API 6A equipment without a proper welding procedure.
4130 and 4140 are nightmares to weld in the ASME/API coded world. You are specifing...
mewhg,
What does the Barrett .50 use? I would assume that arrangement would work anywhere since (as far as I can tell from the website) they have a large amount of impingement on their brake.
As far as the insert - we use carbide in extremely abrasive/erosive gas flows. It can be cast to a...
You might check your application as well. If you weld on the 316 grade steel you could get some sensitization (spelling not sure). Basically, the heat will cause the chrome and the carbon to combine and leave you with less corrosion resistance at the HAZ. The 316L (low carbon) will remedy this...
I have a theoretical question.
Question: I have a hollow thin-walled cylinder. I put it in a press and plasticity deform it in the lateral direction. At this point, I have an oval shaped "cylinder." If I stress relieve this part - will the cylinder move towards its initial round shape?
Or...
Everyone in my department uses the spaceball and, like ewh, it would be like losing a hand without it.
Yes, I recommend it even though it is expensive.

mtnengr:
I would say you know a great deal about metallurgy.
Would you explain the phenomenon whereby highly stressed steel parts will slowly "stress relieve" themselves over a period of time (with no thermal stress relief)? I recognize that the time span may well be years, decades, or...
We use VSR for dimensional stability. While I can't say exactly how or why it works - there appear to be enough experts in the room to explain their opinions.
However, consider we are using this to hold dimensional tolerances that are 0.0015 included (or +/- 0.00075) on a 19.75 inch...
Christain - sorry about the mistake. I put the actual web link on this post as soon as I saw it.
meintsi - you win the cigar. How did you come up with the solution?

This is the address to the math teaser.
It says:
24 - Arithmetic - Hard
Using each of the numbers 1,3,4,6 create an expression which evaluates to 24. You may use any of the four standard arithmetic operations *,+,-,/ and parenthesis. You...
Can Mathcad be set up to do the following:
Given:
1, 3, 4, and 6
use these four numbers using any of the standard math functions (+,-,/,*) and determine the expression that will equal 24.

One more question:
I am getting a number for my area under the curve that doesn't seem correct. For instance, I am integrating from 0 to 360. If I change the limits to 0 to 120 - I should get 1/3 the value - but I don't. Can anyone explain what I am doing wrong?
OK - That part is working now.
If I have a data table with two columns - when charted I get a shape that looks like two sine curves slightly off phase of one another.
I need to determine the area under the curve (integrate). I don't have an equation of curve but I have data to generate the...
Problem: Analyzing crank torque, load is applied for 1/2 rotation
N:=360
i:=0..N
thetai:=i
thetari:= converts thetai to radians
Now I need the following conditional statement for the compression stroke:
ag(thetar):= 1 if pi>thetar>0
0 otherwise
Po= Pp*ag(thetar)
I get an error message that...
HgTX- The enforcement is done for the illegal use of "engineer"- I saw the Texas hearings and they hand out a fair number of fines. The Board has some teeth and uses them when appropriate.
EddyC - I was not implying across the board universal licensing. But if you have an engineering...
Good question HgTX - I don't know.
My thoughts:
The industrial argument is: We aren't selling services to the "general public" and we aren't competing for government contracts.
However, it would seem that we have 90% plus of engineers who are doing work in the exempt status. I don't know...
