I'm just starting to investigate FEA products for simulating an anodizing process. Ideally, I would like to be able to include as many variables as I can (e.g., solution conductivity, solution temperature, voltage and/or current, number of parts, anode/cathode size, location of parts within the...
I have Machinery's Handbook, 26th Edition. On page 130 there are equations for the forces generated for bodies on an inclined plane (without and with friction). I would like to know if anyone has a source which shows the derivation of the equations. I contacted Machinery's Handbook and...
Does anyone have comparative data for corrosion resistance of 301 vs. 304 stainless steel? Our use is medical. Parts are exposed to steam sterilization at 132 C. The 304 we are using now is fine for this application but we need the strength we get with 301 1/2-hard.
