Quench Press force in pounds

Hi Guest,

You have given several force measures.

Can you say in just a couple of sentences what you are pressing, and do you need to know the exact 'press' force in PSI over the complete bed?

Or do you want to know how much the ring gear can, or has to expand before breaking?

what is the force to expand the ring gear to round it up not break it, I have been racking my brain.

the flow stress = yield stress x 10%

dimensions of the ring gear is 13.169 ID, 15.730 OD

x 3.260 width.

Thanks for your help.

Hi Guest,

You will have to 'rack your brain' a little more as I need more detail, not least of which is exactly what you want to know?

What do you want to convert or know in Lbs? And is that psi?

What measurements are you using. You give sizes but no details of mm, or Inches?

Please?

sorry babybear

The dimensions of the ring is in inches (Imperial)

The force I need to calculate is in PSI

The closest formula I can find is the book Sheet metal Forming Process & Die Design

Go to preview the book, then go to page 92 expanding rings

once again thanks

Hi Guest,

I thank you for your last but one and your last post.

Problem is there was only some pages I could open and 92 was not one of them.

If you can search or tell me what to search for and we may find your info, OK?
