High Speed Steel

how to I determine the compression of a steel rod before it bends?

I need to determine if a high speed steel rod at .390 dia will withstand 15000 lbs of load with 5.5 unsupported lenght is there a way to calculate this I have a rule of thumb of 10 to 12 dia unsupported but what is the calculation to arrive at this

The first thing to do is to calculate the axial stress in the bar to ensure that the yield and ultimate strength are not exceeded. Then, using solve for the buckling load assuming it's an Euler column with the appropriate end conditions. Check out the attached site:

Tube mill entry machines improve steel processing

The demands of today's global marketplace can put as much pressure on a business owner as a resistance welder puts on coil ends to create a join with electric current. Fortunately there is one equipment maker who has been at the top of the manufacturing world for more than half a century – Guild International Inc.

 

A world leader in designing and manufacturing of tube mill entry machines for steel processing, Guild International Inc. strives continuously to meet or exceed the rigorous engineering standards its clients have come to expect and value. Factories of all sizes around the world use Guild equipment for all their steel processing needs.

 

Customers know that they can rely on Guild machines. This is because they have seen first hand how well they perform in factories of all kinds and sizes. From resistance welders to tube mill entry machines for steel processing, Guild's machines consistently increase manufacturing productivity at thousands of strip processing companies around the world. All types of coil processing lines, using all kinds of materials, improve when Guild equipment is used. Guild has been a leader in this field of manufacturing since 1958.

 

As for tube mill entry machines, there's Guild's UNC Uncoiler. Made of heavy-duty fabricated steel construction, the UNC Uncoiler operates on many different kinds of processing lines, such as roll form lines or high-speed tube and pipe mills. This machine comes in both single- and double-arm units. The different types of units assure the best fit for any manufacturer's process.

 

In addition, Guild offers the SL Superloop ™ Accumulator. This unit performs perfectly for small- and medium-size mills, thanks to its patented overspeed feature, which creates large amounts of usable storage. Flexible entry and exit points allow for installation in new or existing lines. This accumulator can handle material from about .03" thick up to .312" thick and line speeds from approximately 50 FPM up to 900 FPM.

 

There's also the SCA Supercoil horizontal strip accumulator. These units are designed for use in medium and large pipe mills. Like the SL Superloop, the SL Supercoil comes with large amounts of usable storage and flexible entry and exits points, to make installation in new or existing steel processing lines as simple and effective as possible.

 

Both the Superloop and Supercoil accumulators and the UNC Uncoiler are designed with the same exacting standards that Guild's engineers put into all its machines. Customers who install Guild machines into their factories are assured of top-quality performance every time.

 

Tube mill entry machines and accumulators are only two of the many patented manufacturing products that are offered by Guild International Inc. When you take a look at their catalog you will see it includes products such as its Zipwelders™, semi-automatic shear welders, resistance welders, and a full line of rotary and cropshears along with speed funnels and flatteners.

 

Guild's team of engineers can help any factory determine its manufacturing needs, assuring proper equipment design and compatibility with legacy systems. Guild International is the recognized leader in coil machinery for all steel processing needs.
