Cold-drawn profile

steelalloyT

Cold Drawn Steel "T" Pin for the Automotive Industry Rathbone Precision Metals, Inc. manufactures this T-pin profile for use in an automotive steering column assembly. The cold drawn process, delivers improved mechanical properties, which enables the customer to design thinner sections with greater tensile strength than a machining application would allow. We are able to hold the specified corner radius as well as maintain uniform tip radii and accurate profile symmetry, We manufacture this profile in 1035 Alloy Steel, and supply them to the customer in 8′ bar lengths, with a 125Ra surface finish, fully tested and inspected per the their specifications. Product Application This “T” Pin is used in an automotive steering column Capabilities Applied/Processes Roll & Die Design and Manufacturing Our unique capabilities allow us to hold dimensional tolerances on thin sections while maintaining profile symmetry as well as holding tight tip edge tolerances. Customer Benefits: Improved mechanical properties of cold work allows customer to design thinner sections Provides better surface finish over machined option Accurate profile symmetry Uniform tip radii Overall Profile Dimensions Material Used 1035 Alloy Per SAE 1035 Max Material Finish 125 Ra Estimated Profile Weight .3501 lbs per ft Industry for Use Automotive Standards Met Per Customer Supplied Specifications Product Description “T” Pin
