Why are metals tested ? Ensure quality Test properties Prevent failure in use Make informed choices in using materials
Factor of Safety is the ratio comparing the actual stress on a material and the safe useable stress.

Two forms of testing Mechanical tests – the material may be
physically tested to destruction. Will normally specify a value for properties such as strength, hardness, toughness, etc.
Non-destructive tests (NDT) – samples or finished articles are tested before being used.

HARDNESS TESTINGHardness is the ability to withstand indentation or scratches
![Page 5: MATERIALS TESTING](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062305/5681558c550346895dc364d2/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Hardness testing machine The indenter is
pressed into the metal
Softer materials leave a deeper indentation

Brinell hardness test Uses ball shaped indentor.
Cannot be used for thin materials.
Ball may deform on very hard materials
Surface area of indentation is measured.

Vickers hardness test
Uses square shaped pyramid indentor.
Accurate results.
Measures length of diagonal on indentation.
Usually used on very hard materials

Rockwell hardness tests Gives direct reading.
Rockwell B (ball) used for soft materials.
Rockwell C (cone) uses diamond cone for hard materials.
Flexible, quick and easy to use.

Impact Tests Toughness of metals is the ability to
withstand impact.

Charpy impact test Strikes form higher
position with 300 Joules.

Tensile Testing Uses an extensometer to apply measured
force to an test specimen. The amount of extension can be measured and graphed.
Variables such as strain, stress, elasticity, tensile strength, ductility and shear strength can be gauged.
Test specimens can be round or flat.

Producing graphs
Two basic graphs:
Load / extension graph. Stress / strain graph.
![Page 20: MATERIALS TESTING](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062305/5681558c550346895dc364d2/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

Identify the straight line part of the graph.
![Page 23: MATERIALS TESTING](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062305/5681558c550346895dc364d2/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Youngs Modulus (E)
E = Stress Strain
Stress = Load Cross section area
Strain = ExtensionOriginal length

Youngs Modulus for stress – strain graph Select point on elastic
part of graph
Calculate Youngs Modulus with this point
E = StressStrain

Proof Stress The stress that causes a % increase in gauge
length. It can be found by drawing a line parallel to
the straight part of the graph. A value can be taken from the vertical axis.
![Page 27: MATERIALS TESTING](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062305/5681558c550346895dc364d2/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)

Tensile Strength
Tensile strength = Maximum LoadCross section area
Maximum load is the highest point on the graph.
Often called Ultimate Tensile Strength (UTS)

Problems with creep increase when the Problems with creep increase when the materials are subject to high temperature materials are subject to high temperature or the materials themselves have low or the materials themselves have low melting points such as lead.

Fatigue Fatigue is due to the repeated loading and unloading. When a material is subjected to a force acting in different
directions at different times it can cause cracking. In time this causes the material to fail at a load that is much less than its tensile strength, this is fatigue failure. Vibration for example is a serious cause of fatigue failure.
Fatigue can be prevented with good design practice.1. A smooth surface finish reduces the chance of surface cracking.2. Sharp corners should be avoided.3. Corrosion should be avoided as this can cause fatigue cracks.

Non-destructive testing (NDT)
![Page 33: MATERIALS TESTING](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062305/5681558c550346895dc364d2/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Why use NDT? Components are not destroyed Can test for internal flaws Useful for valuable components Can test components that are in use
![Page 34: MATERIALS TESTING](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062305/5681558c550346895dc364d2/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Penetrant testing
Used for surface flaws. The oil and chalk test is a traditional version
of this type of testing. Coloured dyes are now used.
![Page 35: MATERIALS TESTING](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062305/5681558c550346895dc364d2/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)

Magnetic particle testing• Used for ferrous metals.• Detects flaws close to the surface of the material. • The component to be tested must first be
magnetized.• Magnetic particles which can be dry or in solution
are sprinkled onto the test piece.• The particles stick to the magnetic field and flaws
can be inspected visually by examining the pattern to see if it has been distorted.
• The component must be demagnetized after testing.
![Page 37: MATERIALS TESTING](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062305/5681558c550346895dc364d2/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
![Page 38: MATERIALS TESTING](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062305/5681558c550346895dc364d2/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Eddy current testing Used for non-ferrous metals A.C. current is passed through the coil. The test piece is passed under the coil
causing secondary currents called eddy currents to flow through the test piece. This causes a magnetic field to flow in the test piece.
The flaws are detected on an oscilloscope by measuring a change in the magnetic field.
![Page 39: MATERIALS TESTING](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062305/5681558c550346895dc364d2/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)

Ultrasonic testingUltrasonic Sound waves are bounced off the component and back to a receiver. If there is a change in the time taken for the wave to return this will show a flaw. This is similar to the operation of a sonar on a ship.
Operation.1. The ultrasonic probe sends the sound wave through the
piece.2. The sound wave bounces off the piece and returns.3. The results are then placed on the display screen in the
form of peaks.4. Where the peaks fluctuate this will show a fault in the
piece.Uses. This is generally used to find internal flaws in large
forgings, castings and in weld inspections.

Radiography (X-ray) Testing1. The x-ray are released by heating the cathode.2. They are then accelerated by the D.C. current
and directed onto the piece by the tungsten anode.
3. The x-rays then pass through the test piece onto an x-ray film which displays the results.
4. The x-rays cannot pass through the faults as easily making them visible on the x-ray film.
Uses. This is a test generally used to find internal flaws
in materials. It is used to check the quality of welds, for example, to find voids or cracks.
