    AISI 4340 Plate Fatigue Limit

    Hi, I've been looking for the fatigue limit of AISI 4340 steel in the form of plate. I found data (S/N curves) for bar at the MIL-HDBK-5, but not for plate. Could those curves be used also for the plate form? If not, please any guide to where I can find fatigue data on plate (or any way to...

    Equipment for Boric Sulfuric Acid Anodize

    Hello, I'm researching the differences between Cromic Acid Anodize and Boric Sulfuric Acid Anodize for a process change we are currently planning, and the hardest thing to compare is differences in factory equipment between them (type of tanks, electrical system, auxiliary equipment, etc...)...

    Straightening Formed Aluminum Parts

    Yep, I understand that. As I said that before, we treat those situations under MRB dispositions, what I wanted is exactly to justify acceptability limits for defects to be repaired and acceptable repair procedures under those circumstances. Anyway, a little bit of safety remindering is never...

    Straightening Formed Aluminum Parts

    WK, what a great advice. It goes beyond what I expected, many many thanks. But what about sheet metal formed parts or extrusions that undergo an unexpected deformation (hit, fall to the ground, tool mark, etc...) before final assembly? I think it is acceptable (if the damaged zone has...

    Keeper of the Knowledge Mentality

    Yep SG nice observation, I agree with that, but also I've seen some KoKs up the ladder. No matter at what position, I see KoK as a way of getting permanently stuck in a position.

    Keeper of the Knowledge Mentality

    I've known a fair share of KoK folks, some of them with a true dedication and passion to cloack info on everyone. God they make me furious. But also they motivate me, and I love their faces the times I came up solving problems in their heavily guarded field of expertise. Also, I follow a...

    Straightening Formed Aluminum Parts

    AviatorJ, yes those parts are treated like repairs (under our MRB authority). We have the problem mainly with extrusions and sheets, though. Berkshire, yes that is my exact problem. But one of our customer does not have an specific process spec... As I told we know exactly the repair practices...

    Straightening Formed Aluminum Parts

    Hi, So I'm reviewing our workshop procedures, and I've found a problem that may seem trivial, but I still haven't found no easy solution. Normally when assembling sheet metal for aerostructures, some of the parts need a subtle straightening for a correct mating, or to correct a small...

    QPL for SAE-AMS specs

    Hi, I'm having some trouble understanding what happened with the QPL documents that existed for the MIL qualified products when their MIL spec was s/s by the equivalent SAE-AMS. In many of them for the QPL document there is no superseding document. Does that mean that the products in that...

    After having one of those days with my boss, I can happily turn to artificial insemination. Waist deep.

    Waw, monkeydog, I guess Einstein was so right when he said you should have faith in the infinite stupidity of the human being.

    "Boss 1, suggested to save weight, we put "Lighten Holes" in the tanks." This could belong to a joke. And even then, it would seem too far away!!

    Post your Worst Boss

    Well, Comco, my boss (see first post) shows malice, ruthlessness and a pathological personality as well. Perhaps not a true and rooted sociopathy, Lecter style, but seems not to be bothered by things such as empathy or compassion, he just acts his way, coldly planned. Still, I know exactly...

    Post your Worst Boss

    I think these people could only survive by the action of the SNAFU mechanism. Upper management receive information about the status via the medium-level boss report, who paints it to their most suitable colors. It is the only way I can imagine a situation like patprimmer's told us could...

    Hey, wait a second! Your legs are not so green, buddy. They are fueled by chemicals obtained from organic byproducts using a process with more or less a 20% effectivity. If your source of organic fuel is a vegetable, your legs are, in fact, green-consuming machines. If your source of fuel is...

    For scientific interest. I'll start with my worst boss so far: -Insecure personally and profesionally. Is an engineer, but with R&D background, not industrial. -Obssesed over control and information (uses to patologically hide it, even when unnecessary) -Obstruct every posible...
