I just finished a somewhat complex fixture, and there are a number of clamping mechanisms that utilize a 1/2-13 socket head cap screw, screwing into a 1/2-13x.750 Helicoil. The Helicoils are installed full depth in 6061-T6 aluminum.
The loading procedure for these parts is going to involve a torque wrench, but now I can't seem to find any information on the maximum torque for this particular coil size in this material. I'd like to tighten the bolts as much as safely possible.
Anybody have any info or ideas?
