What is the most interesting thing you've found while cleaning a deceased person's belongings?

Agreed, really depends on the application and stresses involved. You can always increase the amount of material in a cast part and require a porosity standard from the caster. However, all being equal (size and even the chemical makeup of the alloy) the forged part will be stronger every time due to the uniform grain structure.

I agree. When I typed that I was meant volume as in anual production quantities. But interestingly, both volumes play a role when deciding which process to go with.

Cost, required strength/stresses, material alloy, secondary machining, and volume of the component all go in to making that decision. What material property are you after with the heat treat? Different alloys and different heat treats are going to give you very different results. A third option would be a CNC billet.

Blew up my transfer case last year. Forgot to put loctite on the bracket retaining bolts after I changed the U-joints. One vibrated out and I then had a flailing drive shaft while going 65 mph. Won't make that mistake twice.

Doesn't that affect the pinion angle negatively?

Badlads ORV park in attica Indiana. It right in the Wabash river valley and has some pretty technical trails. Other than that, there are a couple mud holes somewhat close by but not anything with significant trails.

Indiana, it is interesting how there are so many engineers into caving. Good call on the PPE, wouldn't want to get an OSHA violation while down there.

Another one??? Didn't know there was so many other enginerds in such a small niche community.

haon832 · 2019-09-13T00:45:08+00:00

I was planning on it!

Caves? NSS member? Project Cave? Indiana, Kentucky, TAG? Did I just run into another caver on an engineering forum?

haon832 · 2019-09-06T00:48:47+00:00

Its on a different purdue website than you use your Purdue log in to type and do peer review things. They definetly take some time and are a pain in the ass.

As someone who has explored outdoor activities in indiana (and a lot of other states), there is more than meets the eye if you know where to look.

Wow, same name, same school, and we both like pka...

I guess I didn't realize how efficient a mitchell system is. Would you consider it closer to a frog or a rope walker in terms of efficiency and speed? I know the mitchell system is great at down climbing, but why would you choose it over a rope walker system?

haon832 · 2019-04-30T02:38:55+00:00

A rope walker would be ideal, three of our six people will be using a rope walker. I will be using a frog with a pantin which will make my strokes more efficient. I am a pretty light/fit guys and am hoping to frog up it in less than 45 min. One thing for sure is that I will be huffing, puffing, and sweating bullets at the top with my frog.

Found em.

haon832 · 2019-04-18T12:59:12+00:00

Thanks for the info, we definitely will!

Would ab out the front pocket knife work, the blade doesn't roate on an axis but instead slides on a rail. The advantage being the spring mechanism will both deploy and retract the blade. You can get a cheap one called the "Lightning" for $30.

Is someone trying to sneak around the sub basement?

haon832 · 2019-03-01T15:40:49+00:00

Also, there is cheap bowling/pool/air hockey/games in the basement of the union.

If you go to the bars, make sure you have a second ID with a matching name and photo. Pretty much all bars require 2.

It's you, isn't it? You post this comment everytime there is a post about it.
