Geirskogul posted:Is 4.8 the cheese-grade of the bolts they sell? That poo poo is Dangerously Cheesy. 4.8 is like SAE grade 2, ie: not something you'd see in any serious shop. Though lots of consumer-grade stuff will have that holding it together. I had to install some headache racks/rails in some pickup trucks at work and the package showed up with 4.8 bolts. I threw them in the trash and used 8.8s off the shelf.

I noticed the tool cart I bought had 4.8 bolts in the installation kit that came with it. I considered replacing them with something a tad harder, but elected to just say gently caress it and built it. Would it be worth going back and replacing them with something stronger in the future even if it'll never see anything more than basic garage use?

It's been a while since we've had a "curb job" towed in due to the lack of snow, but thanks to a light dusting last weekend, we got a few. First; here's a nice one on a Passat: Both of the alloy lower control arms and the rim got the worst of it. It's most likely getting the rest of the entire knee assembly replaced as well. And from a few weeks ago: The only terrible picture I was able to get of a broken front lower control arm on a '99 Cadillac DeVille that ate a curb before continuing into a ditch. It severed clean right where the frame bushing attaches; pulling the inner axle joint apart, which began slinging grease all over everything including the front of the engine. The latter resulted in the serpentine belt popping off which then began to tangle and shred itself in the spinning sloppy mess before it was eventually shut off altogether.

I think it would be most correct to say "any Walmart" instead of "every" one, but either way the meaning of the post was clear, and I don't think I would even call "every Walmart" incorrect. He's just being a jerk for fun!

Geirskogul posted:Is 4.8 the cheese-grade of the bolts they sell? That poo poo is Dangerously Cheesy. 4.8 bolts have a tensile strength of 400MPa (58ksi), half that of an 8.8, which is roughly equivalent to a grade 5 (105ksi.) That puts them at around equivalent of a grade 1 or 2 at 60ksi... and just slightly stronger than brass, at ~50ksi. There is also an ISO Property Class 3.6, but even HF doesn't use those - 300MPa ultimate is actually slightly worse than the tensile strength of 6061-T6 aluminum at 310MPa, so I suspect those are specialty alloy bolts, not steel. http://www.fullermetric.com/technical/information/tech_mechanical_properties.aspx e: Godholio posted:Lose one from every set.

I had an ebeam weld go through a part and hit the allthread holding the assembly together. It was 3/4-10 allthread at 300 pound feet of torque. How many PSI is that? Because when the beam hit the allthread it blew apart and hit both ends of the chamber simultaneously. Hearing a boom in a chamber under a 30 microTorr vacuum was a hell of a thing. I wonder if I still have that slagged piece of allthread around...

Around 24,000lbs overall tension (54ksi assuming a smooth 3/4 diameter rod - the threads would clearly increase the average due to the cross sectional area reduction, and also the worst case strain due to the stress riser at the thread root), give or take depending on plating and lubrication. The calculator I found and used didn't ask for thread pitch, which I found a bit odd, since a finer thread will have a lower thread slope and therefore will (if I'm rationalizing this right) result in a different axial tension given the same torque.

The beam made it through (what we thought was) 2.9 inches of solid 925 inconel though  woops! Electron beams can slip through a gap as small as .006 inches...and melt the gently caress out of whatever's on the other side.

Depends on who made the car. Subarus use what, 10, 12, 14, 17, 19, 22? While Honda and Toyota use a different subset and German cars stick to the DIN metric head sizes instead of the ANSI, ISO, or JIS metric head sizes. The great thing about standards - there's so many to choose from!

Toyota use 8,10,12,14,17,19,21,22,24,27,30. No Japanese manufacturer (commonly) uses 13mm. 1/2" and other non-metric sizes are more common. The Z30 Soarer has one 13mm/half-inch bolt, it's stuffed in a place in which you'd almost never look, and everyone is pretty sure it's there to troll people.

If I ever meet the limp-dicked asswipe that spec'd E10 hardware in the 01-05 Mazda BP engine, when every single other fastener on the engine is a 10/12/14/17/19/29, I will shove those 8 fasteners so far up his rear end the doctors will need their OWN inverted Torx sockets to remove them.

I work for a Japanese measurement company and some of our instruments still have the old big round 5 & 7 pin DIN connectors for input/output functions. Like RS-232 or remote keyboard & setpoints. But then the PS/2 connectors are also basically mini DIN. Japs liked German tech... So did IBM as well Who knows why...
