| Meehanite for piston rings |
| (1/1) |
| John Rudd:
My metal supplier stocks Cast Iron in round bar form. I asked what grade of CI it was only to be told it is Meehanite and suitable for model engineers. So can I use this material for making piston rings? |
| Fergus OMore:
No one has replied but perhaps I should comment about carving my way into a heap of meehanite- a surface plate. All that muck! Frankly, I wonder if it is all worth it. I have a lathe knee deep, a mill up to my oxters( whatever they are) and a 6x4 bandsaw hiding somewhere. And the Best of British Luck :loco: |
