Looking for recommendations for a type of steel tubing that is particularly resistant to fracturing due to vibrations. I have an ultrasonic welding application (20khz) where the anvil in this case is a piece of thin wall steel tubing. The wall of the tubing is cracking at about 1000 to 5000 cycles. We are currently using 316 SS but have tried with the same results 304SS. The tubes are about 24 inches long and the weld region on the tube is ~8 inches long. Not averse to starting with a solid rod and gundrilling, if necessary to get the right metal alloy.
Thanks,
Dave
