Shafts materials

Shafts. Shafts shall he suitable for hook-type sleeve. Shaft material shall he (SAE 1045 steel on Duron and 316 stainless steel pumps) or (AISI 316 stainless steel on CD-4MCu pumps and 20 stainless steel pumps). Shaft deflection shall not exceed. 005 at the vertical centerline of the impeller.

Care should be given in selecting the shaft material. It must be resistant to the corrosive action of the process fluids, yet possess good strength characteristics for design. For some designs it is preferable to use a shaft sleeve of... 

The screw configuration is normally either a ribbon-type helical screw or a series of paddles mounted on a common shaft. Materials of construction are selected based on the specific application and materials to be mixed. Typically, the screws are either steel or stainless steel, but other materials are available. 

Shaft stiffness Most machine-trains used in industry have flexible shafts and relatively long spans between bearing-support points. As a result, these shafts tend to flex in normal operation. Three factors determine the amount of flex and mode shape that these shafts have in normal operation shaft diameter, shaft material properties, and span length. A small-diameter shaft with a long span will obviously flex more than one with a larger diameter or shorter span. 

Metallic packings of aluminum, copper and lead cover a very wide temperature range up to 540°C (1000°F). They should be matched to the shaft material, since shaft finish and tolerance are critical factors in overall efficiency. The great limiting factor in the use of metallic packing is the difficulty of ensuring corrosion resistance with all the likely process materials.

Rapidly solidified in-situ metal matrix composites. A design project for alloys based on the Fe-Cr-Mo-Ni-B system, and produced by rapid solidification, was undertaken by Pan (1992). During processing a mixture of borides is formed inside a ductile Fe-based matrix which makes the alloys extremely hard with high moduli. These alloys provide a good example of how phase-diagram calculations were able to provide predictions which firstly helped to identify unexpected boride formation (Saunders et al. 1992) and were ultimately used in the optimisation of the modulus of a shaft material for gas turbines (Pan 1992). 

For verticaiiy-suspended pumps with shafts exposed to liquid and running in bushings, the standard shaft material is 12% chrome, except for Classes S-0, A7, A-8, and D-1. The standard shaft material for cantilever pumps (Type VS5) is AISI 4140 where the service liquid allows (see Annex G, Table G.1).

The additional cost of the material for a larger-diameter shaft is rarely a major factor for carbon or stainless steel, but may be sizeable for special alloys. The additional cost of a larger mechanical seal, for pressurized applications, may add considerable cost regardless of the shaft material. 

The central component of any microdialysis system is the probe itself. Nowadays, many scientists design and create their own probes depending on the purpose of the study. However, an increasing number of companies supply probes ready to use and made in different shapes, dimensions, shafts materials, fibres, etc.
