AI Thread Summary
When fabricating a Flame Treatment Machine for automotive parts, it's crucial to ensure the flame flows downward onto the parts for effective treatment. A mesh conveyor system is being used to move the parts under the flame, which should only require a few seconds for optimal adhesion enhancement. Concerns have been raised about the flame direction when using burners similar to those in ventless gas fireplaces. Consulting with a burner manufacturer, such as Bloom, is recommended to ensure safety and effectiveness in the design. Proper burner selection is essential to prevent hazards and achieve the desired treatment results.

Flame Treatment Machine, need help...

I work for a automotive supplier company. I am needing to fabricate a Flame Treatment Machine to Flame Treat the Parts before applying a adhesive shim. The Flame Treatment Improves the Dynes of the parts for better adhersion of the shim. I am fabricating a Mesh
Conveyor System. I am thinking of using a Burner like those found on Ventless Gas Fireplaces to use as the flame source. My only concerns are that the flame needs to flow Down onto the parts and I was concerned the flame will flow UP from the Burner.
The parts would be placed on the wire mesh conveyor and would pass under the flame as the conveyor moves forward to achieve Flame Treatment. It only takes a few seconds under the flame to get the desired dynes. I need ideas on the Flame Burner and What would be Best to Use to have the flame blowing Down.

You should consult a burner manufacturer, like Bloom before you end up burning down your house and yourself.

Posted June 2024 - 15 years after starting this class. I have learned a whole lot. To get to the short course on making your stock car, late model, hobby stock E-mod handle, look at the index below.

Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'
Scenario 1 (figure 1) A continuous loop of elastic material is stretched around two metal bars. The top bar is attached to a load cell that reads force. The lower bar can be moved downwards to stretch the elastic material. The lower bar is moved downwards until the two bars are 1190mm apart, stretching the elastic material. The bars are 5mm thick, so the total internal loop length is 1200mm (1190mm + 5mm + 5mm). At this level of stretch, the load cell reads 45N tensile force. Key numbers...
I'm trying to decide what size and type of galvanized steel I need for 2 cantilever extensions. The cantilever is 5 ft. The space between the two cantilever arms is a 17 ft Gap the center 7 ft of the 17 ft Gap we'll need to Bear approximately 17,000 lb spread evenly from the front of the cantilever to the back of the cantilever over 5 ft. I will put support beams across these cantilever arms to support the load evenly
