Grinding is best done with medium-hard wheels with clay bond and 30 to 46 grain. For snagging use 20 grain. When grinding must be done dry use high-suction exhaust fans with a capacity of 80 to 100 cubic feet per second. Grindings should be precipi tated in water on account of fire hazard. Grinding wheels should

marked "For Magnesium Only." Punch and die clearance should be small, 0.0015 inch being recommended for small sizes. Concaving the punch 3 degrees On sheets thicker than 0.065 inch, gives a smoother sheared edge. heating the sheet to 500 to 6oo°F. gives a smoother edge. The contraction after cooling must be allowed for in the punch. Dies for forming magnesium are usually heated either by gas or by electricity. In either case the heat must be kept at a uniform be

temperature over the entire die surface. The die surface should be kept well lubricated. A good mixture is 20 per cent graphite in tallow. Parts may be cleaned with a solution of 8 per cent chromic acid, plus 5 per cent nitric acid. A dip of 3 to 5 minutes at room temperature is usually enough. A 15 per cent chromic solution at boiling temperature can also be used. These fumes should be drawn off by ventilation, for they harm nasal passages. A tank of pure aluminum is necessary. Thin magnesium sheets may be blanked and punched in the same way as other metals. When over 0.064 inch thick they may show a flaky fracture unless dies have very small clearance. Thicker sheets should be heated to 5oo°F., but the shrinkage must be allowed for in the punch and die. For bends of 90 degrees the sheets should be heated to 350 or For a radius 400°F. for a radius of four times the sheet thickness. of the to the thickness a of 6oo°F. is equal temperature sheet, necessary.

MEEHANITE AND ITS HEAT-TREATMENT Meehanite is a processed cast iron produced under rigidly con Meehanite castings are made in a trolled metallurgical conditions. chain of foundries, under license to produce work from this metal. Castings have been used for the past 15 years in the construction of many types of machinery and industrial equipment with distinct advantages to the purchaser. Meehanite responds readily to heat-treatment and permits the achievement of high physical properties, accompanied by either hardness or machinability. Three of the different heat-treatments that may be applied successfully to Meehanite castings are: (1) annealing for stress relief; (2) quench and draw; (3) annealing for machinability, and also machinability in the as-cast condition. Stress relieving of Meehanite is carried out at temperatures ranging from 850 to iiso°F., depending upon the density of the iron. In this treatment, care must be taken to see that the casting is not overheated. Overheating causes a marked deterioration in the internal structure, with a resultant loss of strength. A casting heated at noo°F. for 1 hour per inch of section will Yet this have only a slight drop in tensile strength and hardness.

temperature will remove any stress present in the casting and accomplishes the same results as the old process known as "aging," which was the practice of exposing iron castings to weather tempera tures for a period of from 6 to 8 months. Quenching and Drawing. — This treatment consists of heating the Meehanite casting slowly to noo°F. and then transferring the When the casting casting to a furnace heated to 1575 to i6oo°F. blends with the furnace, it is held at this temperature for 20 minutes per inch of section and then quenched in oil or water, preferably oil.

PLASTICS

Plastics for Dies. — Two classes of plastics are used in making forming dies. Thermoplastics may be softened at any time by applying heat. Thermosetting plastics take a permanent set after their first heating. Catalin. — This is a cast phenolic resin that is noninflammable. It weighs 0.048 pound per cubic inch. It can be tumbled to remove tool marks and sharp edges. Its strength varies from 3,000 to 6,000 pounds per square inch. Turning. — A zero or negative cutting rake with 10- to 20-degree clearance should be used for Catalin. Set tool 1 or 2 degrees above center. A honed tool gives smoother cuts. Dust and shavings should be removed by a blower system. Cutting speed is about 600 feet per minute. Drilling. — Drills for Catalin should have a slight negative rake on the cutting edge and have large flutes for chip clearance. For self-tapping screws use drill one or two sizes smaller than screw. Threading. — For coarse threads use thread milling machine for best results.

Cutting Off. — Abrasive cutting-off disks should be from 6 to 20 A thickness of 0.040 to -fa inches and usual inches in diameter. wheel speeds are suggested. Sawing. — Use band saws with 14 to 18 teeth per inch at 1,200 to 1,500 feet per minute or more. Lucite. —Lucite is a methyl-methacrylate resin that is very clear and transparent. Drilling. — Standard drills can be used, but best results are obtained with drills having a flute angle of 17 degrees, a lip angle The drill of 70 degrees, and a lip clearance of from 4 to 8 degrees. Flat drills can be used for lands, or margins, should be polished. drilling thin sheets. Hollow-end mills are also good for thin stock. A good drill speed is about 1 20 feet per minute, with plenty of mild Feed should be decreased as the soap solution as a lubricant. hole gets deeper. threads are recommended Threading. — Strong coarse-pitch instead of sharp Vs. The tap can be run at about 75 per cent of the speed used on brass. Plexiglas. — Plexiglas is an acrylic synthetic resin that is clearly It is derived from coal, petroleum, and water. It transparent. should be stored in a moderately moist and ventilated place, below 1 2o°F., away from direct sun rays. Cutting tools should have no rake. Oil or water coolants are permissible but not necessary. Feeds should be constant; if they stop the material burns. For Sawing. — Use any fine-tooth saw good for wood or metal. thick material every fifth tooth should be ground to clear the material from the cut. Run saws 8,000 to 12,000 feet per minute with fairly slow feed. Routers can run from 10,000 to 20,000 r.p.m. Drilling. — Use regular drills but with very little lead on cutting Withdraw drill frequently. Use light feed pressure. edge. Tapping. — Back tap out often to clear chips.

Cementing. — Use special cements recommended by makers.

NATIONAL EMERGENCY (N.E.) STEELS Shortages, caused by the demand for war purposes, of the alloys used in steels that are normally used to secure certain desired characteristics have led to the substitution of different steels in places where they can be safely used. Some of these steels, known by different trade names, use no chromium, vanadium, tungsten, or manganese, and only a small portion of molybdenum. These are known as graphitic steels and have good wearing qualities when properly oil-hardened. Some of these steels machine very freely.

Recommended Substitute Steels for Materials Containing Nickel, Chromium, and Vanadium. — In view of the critical situation on the three alloys, namely, nickel, chromium, and vanadium, it is highly desirable that all specifications be revised as far as possible so as to eliminate these scarcer alloys in order that their consump

Since subsequent decisions by the W.P.B. may change these views, the following alternates may be of a temporary nature.

PROPERTIES GIVEN TO STEEL BY ALLOYING ELEMENTS Application of elements to iron to produce steels of varying qualities is strikingly similar to the application of drugs in medicine. Each element has separate and often powerful effects, with fre quently other effects in combination with additional elements. Like drugs, they may be beneficial in tiny quantities, but ruinous in great quantities unless neutralized or checked by supplemental elements. An understanding of the chief characteristics given to steel by the elements is an aid to a better selection and use of steels, espe cially in tool use. Aluminum. — Deoxidizer. Restricts grain growth by forming Forms hard nitrides when heated dispersed nitrides and oxides. in contact with nitrogen, making extremely hard steel. Small amounts increase strength, but large amounts embrittle steel. From 2 to 5 per cent gives heat resistance and oxidation resistance. Carbon. — Hardener, by forming FesC under heat-treatment. Increases strength rapidly up to saturation point of 0.85 per cent, above which the steel becomes increasingly brittle unless there are other elements besides iron to take up the carbon.

Steel production Figures for 1941 show the importance of scrap. for that year of 82,500,000 net tons of ingots required the use of An additional 17,000,000 tons of 44,600,000 net tons of scrap. iron and steel scrap was consumed by iron foundries and blast furnaces in making pig iron and other iron products. Thus a total of about 61,000,000 tons, or about half of the raw material required to make steel and iron products for the year, was iron and steel scrap. Of this total 27,000,000 tons (or 44 per cent) was "pur

MACHINING STAINLESS STEEL Since stainless steel is used in much war material its peculiarities should be understood. The general practice recommended by W. B. Brooks, formerly with the Carnegie-Illinois Steel Company, is summed up in the following: "Use liberal cutting rake and clear ance. Use sulphur and sulphur chlorine cutting fluids liberally. Use first-quality high-speed tools. Support the tools rigidly. Keep the tools sharp and smooth; hone after grinding. Use a generous feed and cut below the work-hardened surface left by the preceding cut. Use rigid equipment with plenty of power for Use cutting speeds 20 to 50 per cent lower continuous cutting. than for machine steels."

The diameters and pitches have been selected with a view to meeting the present needs with the fewest number of items in order to reduce to a minimum the inventory of The tolerances are such as to produce both tools and gages. complete interchangeability and maintain a high grade of product. Four series of translating screw threads are included in this standard — the general-purpose Acme, the 20-degree stub, the These screw thread 60-degree stub, and a modified square thread. series are intended to cover such applications as lathe dogs and clamps, track drills, steel bench vises, machine-tool vises, drill-press vises, lifting jacks, steel hand clamps, valve stems, cross-feed screws for lathes, letter-copy presses, and elevating screws on machine tools and other machines. The subject of Acme and kindred threads embraces a wide field, and it is not possible to combine in a single standard all the variables of all the uses. The following applications are recognized as common usages, but each has special features that prevent inclusion in a general-purpose standard: 1. Feed and lead screws where backlash or end shake are objec In such applications the nut is tapped first and then tionable. the screw is threaded to fit. The screw and nut so made are kept as a pair. 2. Long lead screws where sagging causes threads to seize. In such applications the major-diameter clearance is reduced so that bearing takes place at the major diameter before seizing can occur. 3. Assemblies where the thread must maintain some degree of In these applications a alignment as well as transmit motion. reduced major-diameter clearance is the most effective and eco nomical means of obtaining satisfactory assemblies. 4. There is a considerable demand in mechanical industries for threaded assemblies that provide faster advance per revolution and give greater wear surface. The threaded forms covered by this specification are used frequently, incorporating changes in details to meet particular requirements. It is recommended that no coarser thread for a given diameter than those listed be used but instead that a multiple thread giving the desired lead be Many applications in the valve industry are typical. adopted. Where it is necessary to use multiple threads, the form of single thread corresponding to "crests per inch" of the multiple thread should be used. In the Acme general-purpose thread the angle between thi , sides of the thread is 29 degrees. The threads are truncated top and bottom, give a basic depth and thickness of 0.50 of the pitch, and are symmetrical about a line perpendicular to the axis of the screw. This series should be used for all Acme thread applications except in special cases where design or operating considerations are such that the 20-degree stub, the 60-degree stub, or some other modified thread can be employed to better advantage.

The angle of 10 degrees results in a thread that is the equivalent of a "square thread" insofar as all practical considerations are concerned and yet capable of economical production. This thread form is illustrated in Fig. 4. t

AMERICAN NATIONAL STANDARD GAS-CYLINDER THREADS

Gas-Cylinder Valve-Outlet Threads. — Standard sizes of threads valve outlets of various types are presented in Table 6. The purpose of these standards is to prevent cross con nections of equipment used with a given type of valve with another type where such connection may be dangerous or undesirable, as well as to promote interchangeability among threads of a given type of valve. Hose Connections for Welding and Cutting Torches. — Specifi cations covering hose connections for welding and cutting torches were formulated and adopted in 1925 by the International Acety lene Association, the Gas Products Association, and various manu facturers. Essentially the same specifications were adopted by the National Screw Thread Commission in 1926. Revised specifications for these connections were adopted by the International Acetylene Association, Mar. 9, 1939. These revised specifications were adopted by the Interdepartmental Screw Thread

for gas-cylinder

Committee and are presented below. Dimensions essential to the interchangeability of parts have been standardized. Other dimensions and details of design are optional, so that manufacturers may use their own judgment and follow their usual practice as much as possible. Four sizes of connections are specified, as illustrated in Table 7.

THE AERO SCREW-THREAD SYSTEM

a

The Aero screw thread has been developed to meet problems of securing threaded parts in aluminum and magnesium to withstand the stresses imposed by studs and bolts in aircraft engines and similar installations without failure of the softer metals. The system uses closely wound bronze or steel coil spring insert that screws in the soft metal and receives the steel stud or bolt.

American form. Details of the tapped holes and the bolts are The term V.A.T. refers to "V Aero-Thread." given in Table 10. The first section of Table 10 refers to the bolt or stud, which has a special rounded form of thread. The second section gives dimensions of the holes tapped in the soft metal and the last section gives dimensions of the tapped hole with the insert in place. This gives the number of the insert to be used and the root diameter of the thread formed by the insert. It will be noted that the root diameter of the insert is somewhat larger than the root diameter of the standard American nut, because of the difference in thread form. Tables 11 to 13 explain themselves. Details of the thread in the soft metal of the insert and the thread form of the bolt, are shown in Fig. 4. The data on the different dimensions are also given.

Recommended Practice for Tapping. — In soft metals drill 0.000 to 0.015 inch undersize, in which case the minimum diameter of tap will machine the minor tapped thread diameter concentric with the pitch diameter of the tapped thread. In hard cutting or abrasive materials, it is recommended that the drilled hole be reamed 0.002 to 0.006 inch oversize, in which case the tap will guide on its minor thread diameter. Recommended Proportions of Aero-Thread Assembly. — The boss diameter B is in general the same as in the other screw systems, the relative dimensions depending on physical properties of the boss and noting screw materials as follows: 1.

AMERICAN MACHINISTS' HANDBOOK

The drill is guided through a suitable bushing and 0.760 inch. the chips are washed out through the V groove by coolant at 500 pounds pressure. The drilling speed was 1,040 r.p.m. or about 50 feet per minute. The feed was 0.001 inch per revolution. The barrel was afterl reamed in three passes to 19.96 mm. and finally honed to 20 mm. The drilling and reaming coolant was 80 per cent sulphurized oil and 20 per cent light mineral oil. Another type of drill for a larger hole, 1.81 inches, is seen in Fig. 2. This was a flat drill of high-speed steel for 12 inches, as shown, butt-welded to a special section of steel rod, as shown. The flutes of the shank were polished to make it easier for the chips to be forced out with the same pressure as before, 500 pounds.

f

DRILLING RIFLE BARRELS WITH CARBIDE TOOLS Gun drills with carbide tips and carbide wear plates around the periphery of the drill will give exceptionally high production rates because of fast permissible feeds and long life between grinds. Such drills, designed and manufactured at the Poughkeepsie plant of International Business Machines, Inc., are, according to manu facturing engineer T. R. Skofteland, being used for drilling gun barrels and other gun parts made from steel up to 380 Brinell hard ness and have run as long as 20 hours between grinds. Compared with high-speed steel drills, feeds have in some cases been doubled.

The two carbide wear plates which back up the tip show negligible wear throughout the life of the drill, thereby maintaining its accu racy and producing smooth holes with minimum run-out. Standard drills of 0.293, °-300i °-33°, 0.697, °-733 and 0.781 inch in diameter have been made to date, using the production sequences illustrated for the 0.293-inch size, Fig. 3. A drill of entirely different design, but also employing the carbide tip and wear plates, is used for drilling a 1.150 inch air-cylinder hole in the The produc receiver body of a 20-millimeter automatic cannon. tion sequence and design of this latter drill are shown in a second drawing, Fig. 4. Seats for the carbide tip and wear plates are milled in the drills. Grade H-D Firthite is used for the cutting tip, while Grade T-16 Firthite is used for the wear plates. Both the tip and wear plates are brazed in the slots using Hand & Harmon's Easy-Flow No. 3 The conventional gun-drill grind is used on all sizes. It metal. is important that the cutting edges be honed to a mirror finish. The 0.293-inch drill shown is for drilling 30 caliber rifle barrels Although an average feed of 2 inches per minute 24 inches long. is used, 2 1 inches per minute has been maintained for long runs. In production, this drill has been used for 20 hours without grinding. Drilling is done in W.

The manufacturing sequence on all the drills is somewhat similar. That for the 0.594-inch drill is as follows:

1. The stock is cut-off, centered, and ground to 0.578 inch diameter. 2. Grooves for the wear plates, the chip flute, and the seat for the carbide tip are milled. 3. The wear plates and carbide tip are brazed in place. 4. The stock is ground on centers to the correct diameter over the carbide inserts, leaving the body slightly undersize, in this case, The latter eliminates the need of relief or back-off on 0.578 inch. the drill. 5. Both centered ends are cut-off and the oil hole is drilled. 6. The drill tip is butt-welded to the conventional fluted-type

seamless-tube shank. 7. Finally, the drill is sharpened. This drill, as well as the other sizes, may be made from drill

rod. Better results, however, are obtained with S.A.E. 3115 steel Aerocase hardened to a depth of 0.003 to 0.005 mcn before brazing

in the wear plates and tip.

Case hardening minimizes the danger of picking up chips and slight tears on the soft core of the barrel when drilling. The 0.578 inch diameter drill will run up to 20 hours inches with ease. without sharpening and will take a feed of The machine used for drilling the 1.150-inch air-cylinder hole in the receiver body of 20-millimeter automatic cannon was originally built for a two-lipped drill with the chip return through the center of the drill extension. Chips would often plug this center hole, causing the stock to run out as much as 0.030 inch in 24 inches. This condition was overcome completely by the 1.150-inch drill The double lip was replaced by a single shown in the drawing. lip tipped with carbide and backed up with two carbide wear plates. Since this drill was designed, run-out in the receiver body has been held consistently within 0.008 inch in 24 inches. Chip breakers, ground as steps on the cutting edge, split the chips while drilling The success of this and reduce the possibility of the plugging. drill is partly due, of course, to the rigidity of the round extension tube compared with the conventional fluted seamless tube used on small drills. Another asset is the ease of removing the drill by simply unscrewing it from the extension tube. The 1.150-inch drill is used in a No. 420 W. F. & John Barnes horizontal drilling machine while running at a speed of 600 r.p.m. The speed should be higher, but due to the heavy cradle used for holding the work it is not essential. At the 600 r.p.m. speed, the drill feed is to 1 inch per minute, under which conditions the drill A feed can be used for 10 hours and more without resharpening. The tailof inches per minute can be used at higher speeds. stock of the machine is so constructed as to let the oil, under pres is inch smaller in sure, enter along the drill extension-which diameter than the drill. The oil flows along the two outside flats on the drill up to the point, and finally back through the flute and hole in the extension tube, carrying the chips with it.

The illustrations, Figs. 3 and 4, are self-explanatory. Gun-Barrel Reamers and Broaches. — Wood-packed reamers for finishing the bore of cannon of various sizes are still largely used in gun shops. One of these, such as used in the Watervliet Arsenal, is shown in Fig. 5. The dimensions of the various parts are given for four sizes, 37 mm., 75 mm., 3 in., and 105 mm. The wood-packed tool is a cutting head followed by two semiround wood inserts which support the bar in the bore. These inserts are made of hard maple which is kept under vacuum for It is then soaked in an 24 hours to remove all the moisture. The ends are waxed to keep the impregnating oil for 24 hours. wood from checking. When ready to use, the wood is turned 0.005 inch larger than the reamer size to ensure a rigid support for the bar. High-speed blades are used for the roughing ream and carbon steel for the The gun tube is first counterbored for a short finishing cut. distance to ensure the reamer's being started straight. As the wood packing must be replaced after each bore, this makes an expensive method both in material and in time. More modern practice is to use babbitt as a packing instead of wood, and carbide-tipped cutters instead of high speed and carbon. This has two advantages: the carbide cutters maintain their size for the whole length of the bore and so eliminate all chance of a taper hole, and the babbitt packing can be used for six or eight bores before they need to be replaced. The babbitt packings are turned with about 0.001-inch clearance instead of being oversize, as with the wood-packed reamers. Details of the babbitt-packed reamers are seen in Figs. 6 and 7.

AMERICAN MACHINISTS' HANDBOOK HYDRAULIC SYSTEMS ON MACHINE TOOLS

Increasing use of hydraulics for power and feeds of machine tools it necessary to know the factors that affect operation. According to John Sasso, oils should be checked for viscosity, stability, pour point, flash point, corrosive tendencies, emulsification, and foaming. Testing Oils. — Viscosity is a measure of the internal friction — with too high a viscosity, excessive fluid friction causes heating, Stability is ability of the oil loss of power, and sluggish action. makes

Such decomposition to resist decomposition over a period of time. results in gummy deposits on valves and moving parts, causing Pour point indicates the oil behavior sticking and jerky operation. at low temperatures, at which it becomes viscous enough to cause Flash point is the measure of the fire risk; in an open trouble. system the temperature at which the oil gives off inflammable vapors in an important consideration. When an oil is easily emulsified, the frothy mixture that results is compressible; this will cause errors in amount of ram and valve motion. Emulsification increases if certain compounds of sulphur, If the oil level is soaps, fatty oils, and organic acids are present. the foam cause oil to be lost by "bubbling over," uncover low, may and ing pump suction allowing air to enter the system. Faulty lubrication caused by thin oil is usually shown by inability of the system to develop and hold desired pressures, overheating of the pump, or a reduction in power output. Noisy operation and lack of positiveness in the drive indicate lack of oil and presence of air or gasified oil mixtures. Recommendations. — Only highly refined oils entirely free of abrasive or contaminating foreign matter should be used. High demulsibility, or water-separation ability, is not always essential, unless the system is subject to water leakage. On the other hand, low oxidizing and low carbon residue-forming tendencies are impor tant characteristics. Manufacturers' viscosity recommendations usually range from 140 to 1,200 seconds Saybolt at ioo°F., depending on the make of High pumping pressures and operating temperatures will pump. call for heavier oils, the range depending upon the type of system. Oilgear recommends an oil of approximately 320 seconds Saybolt universal viscosity at ioo°F. for general service, and lighter oils of 140 viscosity where temperatures between 30 and 45°F. prevail. Hele-Shaw suggest oil of approximately 1,000 seconds Saybolt at ioo°F. for maximum-pressure operations or high temperature. The Waterbury hydraulic system requires an oil of medium vis cosity, about 320 seconds Saybolt at ioo°F.
