• Engineering the new V-Rod
  , shows the results of engineers working closely with stylists. The bike represents several firsts for the industry, such as anodized aluminum bodywork and stylized radiator cover. The bike weighs 595 lb and lists at $16,995. The instrument cluster for the V-Rod neatly packages tachometer, speedometer...
• Aluminum-Alloy Bearings
  in. thick) applied to steel backing. Cast alloys generally are specified by designations of The Aluminum Assoc., while the steel-backed bearings are usually specified by SAE designations. An alloy widely used in crank and piston-rod bearings is a cast material, 850.0-T5 (equivalent to SAE 770). This alloy...
• Steering knuckles deck the competition
  and weight constraints set by Jaguar designers. Steering knuckles are typically forged or cast from steel or iron. Jaguar's previous supplier failed to produce acceptable aluminum castings and opened the door for P2000 HVSC processing. The technique produces aluminum parts with minimum ultimate...
• No stress nylon
  advantage: It can be processed from both pellets via melt-oriented processes such as extrusion, injection molding, and compression molding as well as cast where the monomer polymerizes in the aluminum mold cavity. This monomer casting has been used since the 1960s to produce stock rod, plate...
• Bronze and Copper-Alloy Bearings
  . Cast-bronze bearings offer good compatibility, casting, easy machining characteristics, low cost, good structural properties and high load capacity. They do not require a separate overlay or a steel backing. Aluminum bronze: Bronzes of high strength are obtained by using aluminum, iron, manganese...
• Orbital Forming - Does More For Less
  such as screws, snap rings, threaded caps, and rivets. For instance, orbitally forming studs cast in steel, aluminum, and zinc, or molded into plastic, can eliminate rivets. Using the process to form over semishears and extrusions retains the mating part without riveting. In one recent application...
• Copper
  phosphor bronzes), and copper-silicon alloys (silicon bronzes). Cast alloys also have four main families: copper-tin alloys (tin bronzes), copper-tin-lead alloys (leaded and high-leaded tin bronzes), copper-tin-nickel alloys (nickel-tin bronzes), and copper-aluminum alloys (aluminum bronzes...
• A hydraulically powered bike
  to 12,500 rpm and maximum operating pressure of 320 bar. Modifications to the standard products include cast-aluminum casings that reduce weight from 2.5 to 1.4 kg. A relief valve in the pump safeguards against excessive hydraulic pressure should the rear wheel lose all grip and spin excessively...
• The Friction Welding Advantage
  and aluminum are also used extensively in friction welding. Fig. 1 - How a friction weld is created. A - Two unique materials are rubbed together at a controlled rotational speed; B - rotational rubbing motion causes materials to heat up and become plasticized. Having the capability of uniting two...
• Zinc
  finishing characteristics. Three major end-use areas for zinc die-cast components are automotive, building hardware, and electrical. Zamak alloys contain approximately 4% aluminum with low percentages of magnesium, copper, and sometimes nickel. Impurities such as tin, lead, and cadmium are carefully...
