Engineering alloy specific alloys

The resin manufacturer and the specific resin product code should be established. Processors are very knowledgeable in molding and extrusion techniques but are not well versed in colorant use and resin compatibility. That is the job of the colorist. It may be helpful to contact the resin manufacturer directly for additional information regarding colorant and additive compatibility, especially when designing colorant systems for some of the more exotic engineering resins and alloys. The resin manufacturers may have done research or had experience that may help in selecting the colorant or avoiding certain problematic colorants or additives. 

Criteria for Selection of Materials. The optimum selection is generally an economic one based on experience of the design engineer backed by code specifications. Alloy steel and nonferrous and nonmetallic materials have become standard for specific services. Essentially the... 

Frick, J., ed. 2000. Woldman s Engineering Alloys, 9th ed. Materials Park, OH ASM International. This standard reference book has again been revised with thousands of new records added or updated to include the latest alloys and the most current manufacturing status. The book also continues to list alloys that are no longer produced, but are frequently found in older references and specifications, thus helping you to identify substitutes (from ASM Web site). Available online on Knovel. 

Titanium Alloys is the resialt of an ambitious effort to provide comprehensive property data in electronic form for not only databases but also print products such as the Materials Properties Handbooks series. In this endeavor. Titanium Alloys represents a book-first approach devoted to comprehensive, alloy-specific compilations of properties and processing information on engineering materials. This work has produced a substantial amovmt of titaniiim property data in electronic form, and follow-up efforts will determine which of the information is suitable for more structured and searchable electronic formats such as MatDB. 

IMI 685 is a titanium alloy specifically developed to meet aerospace-engine reqmrements. It was the first of the near-alpha alloys, and represented a significant step forward in combining... 

The contents of a material specification depend on the purpose and application of this specification. A typical AMS on a product such as an engineering alloy is identified with a Title section on the first page, followed by eight other sections Scope, Applicable Documents, Technical Requirements, Quality Assurance Provisions, Preparation for Delivery, Acknowledgment, Rejections, and Notes. 

Most engineering alloys contain multiple constituent elements to achieve the desired metallurgical and mechanical properties. Superalloys Rene N6 and CSMX-IOM are composed of as many as twelve or thirteen microalloying elements to enhance their properties at elevated temperatures (Durand-Charre, 1997). These alloying elements are added for specific purposes and... 

Manufacturing engineers wishing to use ECM processes in industry need to address the challenge of proper tool design. The cost of design can be as much as 20% of the cost of an electrochemical machine for complex components. PredictabiUty of overcuts obtained for specific appHcations and the particular electrolytes to be used for the alloy metals that have to be machined must also be considered along with specific controls and limits on the ECM equipment needed.
