so the question begs - what is the tensile strength of that particular steel... and will it hold up to a 40 ton press..?

It's not the tensile strength that counts here, it's the compressive strength... (tensile is pulling outward - compressive is pressing inward)

 

[krazykuda]

isn't spring steel, in it's own way, actually more brittle and susceptible to side impacts?

It has some ductile properties also, that's how the torsion works - it bends in the elastic range where it is capable of bending back to it's original position...

Taquila, schnapps, whiskey... I'm calling the shots...

ok- so if you cut an inch out of it and crimp them back together with a sleeve - won't the sleeve itself be the eventual failure point?

 

[ScampMike]

if you replace the W in where, what and when with a T - - - you have answered the questions

My Canadian friend wanted to go clubbing...

But we couldn't find any seals...

Possibly...

You can get more holding power with longer sleeves for more material engagement... Ie. 1 1/2" vs 1"....

I can't believe we've gotten this far talking about rods and sleeves without it deteriorating in a complete pun fest...

Sometimes we have to focus on the problem at hand... (pun... - at hand...)

obviously Ben is busy - - no WAY we could have gotten that far if he had checked in

 

[ScampMike]

oh well, now that we've solved Tim's rod problem... what's next - ?

World peace...

World peace...

bwwwaaaaa hahahahaha... GD'ed comedian!!

time to roll outta this place.. catch ya'alls on the flip.. cyas!

Ron just stopped by his BIL Carl had a heart attack in his garage yesterday, he is alright though they had to put a stent in.

Carl that I just met? That sucks. I guess you just never know...

 

[Ddaddy]

I saw this one the way home and just had to grab a pic...

Walk-ins welcome?? I don't need a car? What are you going to do, put tires on my ankles and change the oil in my knees?

 

[zkx14]

Whirled Peas?

Peas porridge hot, peas porridge cold
Peas porridge in the pot 9 days old
Anyone care for some old cold green muck?

 

[halifaxhops]

Yes that Carl, should be out tomorrow, if not I am going to go see him.

Oil change performed here. Is that a stage act. What is it changed into.

Were they doing anything, ie heavy work, or just hanging out?

I got more than that shaking...I'm a jolly old elf...
