What S.S. to use?
Two of my students are building model hit and miss engines. The drawing calls for stainless steel for the connecting rods but does not specify what grade. The part will be made from .4375 diameter rod stock. Suggestions please on what grade to use keeping in mind that they have no experience with S.S. so machinability is important. Will probably order the stock from Mc Master Carr and they list a bewildering variety of grades. Thanks, Errol Groff |
