Hello everybody. I've lurked here for some time and thought I had an account but if I did it must have been with a no longer active email account so I had to sign up again to post.
I have been give a "pie" shaped wedge to reverse engineer. I was told it was a "bearing wedge rocker" and it origin is European. We have a "gun" that identifies material but it does not have a match in its database. I've looked through The Metals Black Book and MatWeb trying to come up with a material but haven't had any luck. The part is 51 Rc and has the following composition according to the "gun":
Nb .013%
Cu .971%
Ni .044%
Fe 93.56%
Mn .516%
Cr .031%
S .372%
P .016%
Si 4.48%
The Chromium and Nickel look low to me and the Silicone looks very high. Anybody have a good source to "reverse" a material spec from a given composition?
