i have this piston that goes inside of an injection molding machine. its very odd the way it broke. it almost looks like its 2 peices of steel that are somehow fastened together, but its most like "just the way it broke" that makes it look like that.
I think the problem stems from the sharp corners in the seal channel
This is like the 4th one that has broken
Im going to make one with radius'd corners and see if that works. Not sure one what steel to use. This one checks about 35 rockwell, but im thinking it might be some sort of stainless. not 100% sure on that though.
any suggestions?
