A Design Study in Steel Castings -- Pintle Socket

Surface B -- Side Wall

Surface B - Side Wall

  • Surface B -- The side wall was originally designed as a 2"  thick wall including the 1” of machining stock.
  • The 2" thickness with the 1" machining stock gives only 1" of finished thickness.  This leaves the inner machine surface in the center third of the as-cast wall.
The thickness of the wall should be increased on the inside by 1" to 3".  This keep the inner face of the machining stock outside the center third of the wall thickness.

Surface B needs 1" additional thickness.
