2010年5月21日 · I had a question today about A26 steel. Googled it and it was renamed in 1966. Now I need to find out the modern classification and properties. Rail road wheels was a possible application. Anyone have any rescorces or experience? Thanks in advance.

2006年4月22日 · This is a super alloy. I just bid a job making some studs out of 1/4 diam a-286 and the best material price was $16.80 per foot with a 4 week lead time.

2013年12月17日 · Looking at purchasing a turning center at work. For sure want Y axis live tooling and most likely a sub spindle. We’re a job shop in a company with normally low quantity parts but almost always have hole features and second opp lathe work. Material would be mostly steel but anything from plastic to A-2 is normal.

2011年1月5日 · I suggest trying a few samples first in some steel to see what changes you need to make before attacking the real parts. Chip load for drills is directly proportional to the drill's diameter. Chip load is about 1.6% of the drill diameter per flute. Use that on both drills. That chip load is about at a maximum cruising speed.

2024年3月14日 · This layer provides non-corrosive properties to the material by blocking the diffusion of oxygen to the steel surface. As a result, it prevents the spread of corrosion into the bulk of the metal. There are more than 150 different grades of stainless steel, classified into 5 sub-groups. Main Stainless steel sub-groups and their properties

2007年6月10日 · Relatively soft and easy to cut, the very definition of mild steel. I find them hard to get a nice finish on unless I cut them with carbide at high sfm. Welding is a breeze, TIG with ER70s-2 filler or MIG or stick with just about anything. 1026 is a little easier to get a finish on than 1020 or 1018, I generally find tubing made in 1026.

2017年12月9日 · A2 is air harden steel. After holding 1750°F for 20-30 minutes remove from furnace and air cool. Remove form foil, polish (or surface grind) to remove the oxide and to get clean, shiny metal surface. Temper at 510°F - 530°F for about 2 hours. This will give the metal a nice blue finish and about 56RC hardness.

2008年7月12日 · Ferris was familiar with many steel companies and picked each one for their own specialty to make components. Several sources said the axle was cast and forged by Bethlehem steel. I just found this: WHEMCO purchased Lehigh Heavy Forge, formerly known as BethForge, from Bethlehem Steel Corporation in 1997.

2003年3月11日 · How can I remove the black oxide from hot rolled steel and leave the steel clean to receive a clear finish? Customer ( furniture designer) wants a metallic steel look. Sanding is too laborious. Would an electrolytic rust removal process work? Thanks.
