    Shear failure in threaded fasteners

    Need to take into account the material fastner is made out of, nylon, mild steel, galvanised, zinc coated, high tensile, stainless steel. Being able to shear will depend on how maluble the material is

    Graduate Can Strings Act as Both Particles and Waves Like Quantum Particles?

    I don`t have any degrees or anything but I like to think outside the box, my theory is things appear as they do depending on your perspective. If you look at a front view of a wave form you see the wave, if you look at it from a plan view you see a line, that line`s end view it a dot (particle)...

    What gear ratios are best for optimum torque transfer with a given motor?

    If you are having a tugging competition generally the lowest ratio will win, experimenting with the weight of the vehicle to make sure you don`t loss traction to optimise the torque output. keep in mind the fact you will be pulling another vehicles weight, take that into account when you do...

    Chrome and Stainless Steel Resistance

    Nice comment Turbo-1, to my knowledge no-one has done much research in the use of electrolisis and the use of sacrifical elements, cost of research and development is more than replacing the product. I do know of 1 brewery that uses old ammonia cooled tanks, and the leaking ammonia vapour will...

    Chrome and Stainless Steel Resistance

    oh I forgot to add the simplest way to prevent the corrosion is Electroless Nickel plating, only afew microns will be required, this will eliminate most instances where tea stain can occur

    Chrome and Stainless Steel Resistance

    I work in the stainless fabrication industry, manufacturing for the food/beverage industry. How salt water affects 304 and 316 grades, the salt sits in scratches, unpassivated welds and pits in material and creates what's called tea stain (tea stain pits the passivated surface and creates at...
