nope, didn't know that. though I have a 22 year old friend thats a materials engineer for the airforce, it's interesting work...
Not technically a materials engineer, but I am an automotive engineer and materials is a large part of what I do these days. There are several million vehicles on the road today using parts that I have designed. Either in the braking system or in the engine.
yeah, I'm seeing people use the term forged in place of sintered a lot, just like a torsen "LSD" when it is instead an ABT or "helical" diff.
First, its
ATB not ABT, and it is not mutually exclusive from the "LSD" descriptor. Limited slip simply means there is some method of limiting the slip of the less loaded tire than the other. ATB is simply one of the various design methodologies to make a limited slip diff. In summary, your analagy, just like everything else you post, is
wrong.
my point is the rods weren't worked out from an ingot of alloy, they were pressed together granules.
WTF does it matter? Its still a
forging process involved. Nobody cares if you are all excited about whether it started as one piece or many.
I'm really getting sick of you, seriously. You come in here, posting like you know everything, ignore advice even after you've specifically asked for it, then you blow your stuff up, and blame other people for it because they didn't figure everything out for you and hand it to you on a silver platter (on a side note, Dom from FCO and I haven't seen eye to eye on just about anything for many years, but I'm pretty sure we both feel the same way about you) then you come back, asking for advice again, and blow off all the knowledgable advice again. Then you continue to call people wrong about things you admittedly know nothing about, when the other people are experienced auto industry professionals with first-hand knowledge and experience with the topic(s) at hand.
You are an idiot, and further you are the worst kind of idiot, one that is arrogant and obnoxious about being an idiot, and even refuses to concede when shown to be wrong. Please never ever go into a profession where people's lives are at stake. In my line of work, its usually someone like you that is the root cause of a massive safety recall, where millions of dollars are wasted, and sometimes even lives are lost.
