A Design Study in Nickel-Aluminum Bronze                                        

Approach A - Ream and Press Fit

Press Fit.jpg

The "ream and press fit" is not a good joining approach.

Go back and choose another design approach

In this approach, both the steel tube and the reamed hole have to be precisely machined for perfect fit.

  • Too large a hole and the steel tube will not be secure.

  • Too small a hole and the steel tube will not fit in the hole and additional machining will be required.

Dimensional variability, insertion problems, and loose fit are too much of a risk for this joining approach.
