Topic Covered are; What is Hardenability of steel, Hardness VS Hardenability, Jominy End Quench Test, and factors like Grain Size, alloying elements, Carbon
Testing and Characterization of Engineering Materials
Materials Characterization is a broad field covering testing and microstructural analysis of all engineering materials used.
Erichsen Cupping test for sheet metal
Erichsen cupping test for sheet metal is used for qualitative comparison of compositions, strength and physical properties amond metal sheets.
Vicker Hardness Test for metals and alloys
Vicker hardness test is verstaile non-destructive hardness test used, both, for hard and soft materials. Indentor used is pyramid diamond indentor.
Rockwell Hardness Test for Metals – Definition – Principles, Standards and Applications
Rockwell Hardness test is most common non-destructive test used in industry. Its priniple, rokcwell scales, procedures and exmaples are presneted here.
Thermal Analysis of Polymers – Aramids and its blends
Thermal analysis of polymers mainly aramids is beind shared. To understand phase change in aramids, DSc and TGA analysis are investigated here.
Fourier Transformed Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR spectroscopy): For Characterization of an Aramid and its Blends
FTIR spectroscopy is employed to study aramid fibers and its blends. Peaks identifications of Aramid blends and regions of IR spectra are discussed.
Brinell Hardness Test – Useful Tool for Metallurgist
Brinell Hardness Test is employed for variety of materials using variable loads and indentors. Common defects like ridgind and sinking appears during test.
Types of Microstructure and It s Scaling
Scaling of microstructure is very important for depiting true picture of microstructure. procedure for right way of scaling is discussed in detail here…
