My company is looking at using titanium-6Al-4V for a high temperature application. I appreciate there are better, alternative titanium alloys available, but this is the best available in the neessary timescales. Obviously the reduction in mechanical properties is being designed for. But, the...
Is anyone able to point me in the direction of a company who can supply beads or pellets of a polymer material that can undergo preferably an irreversible expansion or swelling when exposed to elevated temperatures (above 100°C)- basically I require a more controlled version of popcorn!!! I can...
Unfortunately for you EN 10025 first appeared in the 1990's.
Try the following link for find equivalent metal specification

Can anyone here recommend a good book to purchase that goes into details on the lubrication of gearboxs. Typical information I would like include the following: -
Functions/ requirements of an oil.
The different additives of an oil and reasons for their uses.
How does changing the oil...
While I appreciate your reply. There are a few reported concerns with acid based etching of titanium alloys, namely waste disposal, hydrogen embrittlement of the titanium material and durability of the subsequent bond in high humid and high temperature environments. For these reasons coupled...
We are currently experiencing some problems with bonding titanium 6Al-4V to epoxy resins- the geometry of the joint in question leaves a lack of access for our standard titanium preparation method; abrasion and then exposure to plasma. Therefore we would like to run some bonding trials after the...
817M40 (equivalent to EN24) is normally supplied in the hardened and tempered to "T" condition. Therefore assuming the strength in this condition is suitable (min yield at 680MPa) for your needs it should not require any further heat treatment.
Are these castings shot peened? If not then the suggestions given above are fine.
However if they are shot peened then to avoid degrading the preferential compressive stresses at the surface the exposure temperature should be restricted to no more than 200F (or 93C) according to Mil-S-13165C...
Thank you for the reply. We buy the material through a stockholder and the cert they supply only contains the heat treated information.
I will go back to them and get them to pull their records.
Thanks
We have a part manufactured from 13-8PH, which has been bonded into an assembly. Unfortunately it has since been discovered the part has missed the heat treatment step to age it.
I appreciate all the literature states the material should not be used in the solution treated condition, but could...
Can anyone recommend a test house in the UK, which is able to carry out wear testing and measurement of friction coefficients?
Thank you in advanced for your assistance.
For a particular application we require the physical properties of an austenitic stainless (density, stiffness, expansion coefficient). The part is of size approximately 800mm by 500mm by 32mm and we are making about 24 units. AISI 304 is ideal apart from one thing, strength, however all other...
Again thank you for your replies.
The application is as a stiffening plate fixed to aluminium components. Therefore I wish to maximise the modulus, which rules out aluminium. I did consider brass, but again the reduced modulus is a factor.
The part is stiffness rather than strength limited and...
Thank you for the responses - I should have added in the original message that the service temperature of interest is in the region of 20-150°C. In this range, according to my reference 201 has a coefficient of expansion of 0.0000157m/m.°C and 305, 304, 302 etc are at 0.0000173m/m.°C.
The 300...
