Chrome Moly Tubing – This 4130 Tubing is Strong

Author: admin

What is Chrome Moly anyway? Well first off, If you just searched the internet for chrome moly, I have to tell you that the correct spelling is actually Chromoly. Chromoly is like steel on steroids. It contains Chromium and molybdenum a splash of carbon and mostly iron.

The most popular grade of chromoly tubing is 4130. Here is what 4130 means: The American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI) has a numbering system that uses 4 numbers to categorize steels.

The first number indicates the major alloying element.

Take 1010 plain carbon steel, for example. The 1 denotes plain carbon steel. The second number indicates the approximate percentage of the major alloying element. In the case of plain carbon steel the number is a zero because there is no major alloying element. The third and fourth numbers indicate the carbon content of the steel.

In the case of 1010 steel They indicate that the steel contains approximately 0.1% carbon, that’s 0.1% or point one percent carbon.

OK lets look at 4130 chromoly.

The 41 in 4130 indicate the main alloying elements are chromium and molybdenum and that the steel contains about 1% chromium and molybdenum combined. The last 2 digits indicate 0.3% carbon.

The reason 4130 chromoly is so freakin strong and the reason it performs so well when used in airplanes, bicycles, dragsters, etc. is because the combination of chromium, molybdenum, and carbon, along with proper normalized heat treatment , give 4130 chromoly tubing a combination of strength, toughness, and ductility.

4130 chromoly tubing has great properties and great strength to weight ratio. The trick is not to screw that up when you weld it.

There are some purists out there who insist that gas welding is the only way to go for welding chromoly tubing for small airplanes. The idea is that the slow heating and slow cooling that is part of the gig with gas welding, is necessary and when 4130 tubing is gas welded, it kind of gets stress relieved at the same time.

But with all the data available on TIG welding 4130 chromoly tubing without the need for stress relief in enough for me to feel good about TIG welding it. Even for small aircraft

I just make sure to only weld within established guidelines and I don’t use 4130 filler rod.

plasma cutting and tig welding Tom Gingras came over and gave me some stainless steel and wanted to try the longevity multi process machine. This is just for practice with my camera and not really how to tig weld but I will make some of those shortly. Canon Vixia hf20

Mario Paint Real v2.0

Author: admin

Just for Mario Paint Composer 2.0’s release, I had to update my older Mario Paint Real to accomodate for the new instruments. I changed a few of the older instruments as well. For most, I also added a small amount of panning to give it a surround effect. All sounds are from the Airfont 380 SoundFont. Mario – Piano (unchanged) Mushroom – Jazzy BD/Toms Yoshi – Flute (unchanged) Star – Music Box (unchanged) Flower – Trumpet (unchanged) Game Boy – Square Wave (unchanged) Dog – Sawtooth Wave Cat – Steel Drum (unchanged) Pig – Distortion Guitar (unchanged) Swan – Orchestra Hit (unchanged) Face – Harpsichord Plane – Acoustic Guitar (unchanged) Boat – Timpani/Percussion (open hi-hat added) Car – Pipe Organ (unchanged) Heart – Picked Bass (unchanged) Piranha Plant – Saxophone Coin – Tubular Bell Shy Guy – Strings Boo – Harp (unchanged from face) The two songs are a remix of my Pokémon DPP: Game Corner and Pokémon DPP: Galactic Grunt Battle Download here: floatzel.net To use the SoundFont, rename your current soundset3.sf2 file in the MPC folder to something else, like “default.sf2″. Rename the new file to “soundset3.sf2″. Check out my site: floatzel.net

The Many Uses of Teflon Or PTFE

Author: admin

Teflon is the trade name for PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene), a polymer consisting of carbon and fluorine. Teflon was developed back in 1938 by a DuPont researcher named Dr. Roy Plunkett. The development changed the plastic industry forever.

Plunkett and his DuPont team created one of the most slippery substances that exist. PTFE is not only beneficial for its nonstick property; it offers many other great qualities as well. The polymer is resistant to high temperatures, chemical reaction, corrosion, and stress cracking. These traits allow PTFE to be used for many different purposes.

One common household use for Teflon or PTFE is cooking. Many kitchen supply brands market their Teflon pots, pans, and utensils. These products are safe and make cooking a lot easier. The non stick PTFE component guarantees your food will slide right off the pot or pans surface. Cooking sprays and grease are no longer needed when you cook and bake with a Teflon coded product.

Another at home use for PTFE is with beauty products. Nail Polish is commonly infused with Teflon to create a strong, crack free product. Once applied, the Nail polish will stick to your nails longer with chipping. Many hair styling products, like curling irons and flat irons are also made with PTFE. The non stick coating helps the tools glide smoothly through hair, unaffected by the high heat temperatures.

PTFE is also significant in the automotive industry. One frequent use is with windshield wiper blades. Manufacturers coat their wiper blades with Teflon so the well known “squeaky blade situation” does not occur.

A fourth public use of PTFE is as protection for carpets and fabrics. Carpets and fabrics that include Teflon are less susceptible to stains. The PTFE acts as a repellant to liquids so spills can be easily wiped off.

Besides household and personal use, PTFE is widely used in a variety of business industries. The Steel and Chemical Processing Industries are two prime examples. These industries need strong and reliable hoses and tubing to transfer highly caustic and corrosive chemicals. They work with high temperatures to produce their products or services and they have to have a means for withstanding the heat. Teflon is great since it is carries the heat resistant and corrosion or stress free characteristics. PTFE tubing and hoses deteriorates less rapidly than metal piping. Manufacturers are catching on to this cost saving technique.

As you can see, PTFE properties are endless. They assist us with day to day tasks like cooking, cleaning, and driving. They contribute to our beauty prepping. And, PTFE’s play a major role in the processes of industries like the Steel and the Chemical Processing Industry. Plunkett and DuPont might not have realized just how far their development would go. They created a product that remains essential to many functions in society today.
