All you metallurgists out there, I need some help.
In trying to get my stub axles built, I am seeking recommendations for
the type of steel stock from which to turn down the shafts I am
designing and afterwards have them heat treated. So I need stock that
is strong and will take heat treatment to make a part that will hold up
to the rigors of independent syspension.
I am not familiar with all the specs of the various metals so I am
relying on the wisdom of this group to provide not only a recommendation
for the type to use and also any sources for the blank material from
which to machine them.
I am thinking that I need to start with round material 5" in diameter
and about 7" long for each axle.
Thanks in advance,
Joe (C)
