Over the decade, our small team has produced some ~10K or so Pro/E assembly, drawing and part files in WF2. We store them in a crude repository mapped to a local directory structure. Repository maintenance has not been our priority, so we have many part files not in assemblies or drawings -...
Hi All,
Has anyone any experience with dimensional creep (distortion) as a result of residual stresses over the *long term*? Objects do distort in the short term as a result of forming or machining operations from residual stresses, but are these changes long-term stable, or will the material...
Hi,
Can anyone suggest a decent print resource/reference book which describes aluminum heat treating processes from a chemical, metallugical, and physical point of view? Something from one of the societies?
Thanks
We're doing some machining to a beefy 6061-T6 extrusion and are VERY concerned about residual stresses in the material afterwards(as a result of extruding and machining). Two questions:
1. Any idea if dimensional creep is likely as a result of machined in stresses over the life of the part...
