The components depicted in Figure CS-18 are two styles of mounting brackets used to attach outboard motors
Question:
Since outboard motors are frequently carried to the boat, weight is a definite concern. The bracket will also operate in a wet environment, possibly even saltwater, and will be subjected to impacts and vibration, in addition to its steady-state force. The designer has recommended a minimum yield strength of 345 MPa (50 ksi), coupled with a 5% minimum elongation in a uniaxial tensile test to assure adequate resistance to brittle fracture.
1. Briefly discuss the major service requirements for these components. Which of the various engineering materials would you recommend for this application?
2. For your recommended material, what are some of the possible means of producing the desired shapes? Which of the possible alternatives would you recommend? Why?
3. Would a heat treatment be necessary to establish the required properties? If so, what type of treatment should be used?
4. Would some form of surface treatment be desirable? What type of treatment would you recommend?
