Ok, I'll agree and maybe I have it all wrong. Can you please enrich my understanding:
If I recall correctly, most metals have a stress below which they can withstand an infinite number of stress cycles (me pushing on a light post). Above this level, the life disminishes in proportion to the stress and number of stress cycles.
So, the question is: How does the load you calculated (425 lbs) compare to the fatigue stress of sintered steel?
