We did some experiments at work to determine what the torque carrying capability of joints made by interference fits created by tapers (12-16 degrees included angle) on shafts/hubs. These parts were steel and the surface finish was turned not ground. Using green Loctite retaining compound almost doubled the torque carrying capacity. I was surprised that loctite could have such a significant effect, has anyone else noticed anything like this?
