Stainless Steel vs. Carbon Steel

I have been given the glorious task of performing a cost reduction study on a current part that is made from stainless steel (303 and 440). I have been asked to reduce the cost by making it from carbon steel rather than stainless. I have already determined that there might not actually be a reduct

Sand Blasting Data Required

We are developing a sand blasting media engineered from recyclable plastic that will compete with 3 or 4 existing medias currently on the market. To help us position this product and help us have an understanding of the actual size of the market could someone assist us with the following 2 marke

555 Timer for Motor Pulsing – Fire!

I am trying to build a simple a stable 555 timer to switch a smallish dc motor off and on. In simulation it works. However, when I proto the board, everything works right, on/off interval is good, relay opens and closes.......................until I add the motor, then I get the magic smoke from th

LTC1290CCN Chip Failure

Hi

We use this chip which is a 12 bit A/D converter on one of our circuit boards. We purchased a large quantity of these chips in 2007. Recently we have been experiencing random intermittent failures. Sometimes the chip fails at startup other times after a month. A few have failed in the f
