Pv. Rao et al., EFFECT OF PLATING AND TEMPERATURE ON THE STRENGTH OF SHRINK FITTED ASSEMBLIES, International journal of machine tools & manufacture, 33(3), 1993, pp. 475-481
Interference fitted assemblies are most widely used in engineering pra
ctice because of excellent load carrying capacity, reliability and eas
e of assembly. For a specific fitting with fixed interference, the str
ength can be improved by thermal treatment and also by introducing a l
ayer between the mating parts through plating the shafts. An experimen
tal investigation of the above factors on the fitting strength is obta
ined and discussed in detail.
