If Loctite Primer and Loctite Stud Lock are used to secure the male threads in the female threads you can eliminate the need for a lock washer - it will become, in effect, a single assembly. <br /><br />Is it feasible to butt weld two male threaded fasteners together? A 1/2-13 stud welded to a 10X1.5 stud and screwed into a 10X1.5 coupling nut would give you the assembly.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2807403883562053852.post-78344000857318132512015-11-30T23:53:09.018-07:002015-11-30T23:53:09.018-07:00Consider using socket head cap bolts, or studs.

I may not be clear on what it is you're trying to do, though. Requires sketches! :) Willhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00722792638246578812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2807403883562053852.post-35151250574072034562015-11-30T23:39:20.042-07:002015-11-30T23:39:20.042-07:00Your calculations may not be valid.

Start by calculating/measuring how much force the part(s) can exert on the junction of this assembly. Only then do you look for appropriate materials.<br /><br />BTW, 6061T6 is one of the softer aluminum alloys. Probably the cheapest, though.<br /><br />Consider browsing through www.practicalmachinist.com for info on metals and machining. Very helpful people on that forum.Willhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00722792638246578812noreply@blogger.com
