    2219-T851 Barstock

    I am welding 2219-T851 cylinders to a 2219-T851 manifold. I am having trouble finding rectangular barstock for the manifold. The size needed is 2.5" x 3". Any suggestions for another alloy that has similar strength and weldabilty for the manifold?

    Vespel Alternative

    I'm searching for a lower cost alternative to Vespel SP1. Application is a poppet to seal a small orifice. Temperature range is -65° F to 220 F, sealing air at 3000 psi. Not sure if PEEK or TORLON would be good down to -65?

    Tempering 420F for Max. Tensile

    I am getting annealed 420F barstock for making turned parts. Tempering at 600 F then air cooling produces a tensile of 230ksi according to Mark's Handbook. I plan on doing the tempering in house in a furnace with an inert atmoshere. Can someone tell me the duration of the heat treat at 600F...

    Best Plating to Inhibit Welding

    I have two small brass parts that are being used in a switching device. Current is about 5 amps for 30 milliseconds. When the parts are unplated I can get a very slight welding action as witness under a scope. Worst case is the parts stick together due to the minute weld. Can anyone suggest a...

    Aluminum, Laser Welding versus Dip Brazing

    I need to convince a customer that a laser welded joint is as strong as or stronger than a dip brazed joint. We are joining two aluminum parts and I have flexability in terms of the alloys depending on which method is used. Does anyone know of any documentation comparing brazing versus welding...

    Liquid Oxygen/440C Compatibility

    Does anyone know of a NASA or MIL-STD that deals with the compatibility of liquid oxygen and 440C and other stainless steels? I'm looking more for chemical resistance than ignition resistance.
