Aggressive Description

environment is employed to evaluate a component's fatigue and fracture points

under various pressures and temperatures in corrosive conditions.
Tests simulate the operating environment in which components

testing will function.

Application

Salinity
Humidity
Hydrogen sulfide
Carbon dioxide
And other natural elements
Corrosion Description

testing This covers small-scale, non-toxic aqueous corrosion testing in

both freshwater and saltwater.

Application

When a material is exposed to seawater, corrosion testing is

conducted to identify any corrosion components.
FRACTURE AND Description
MECHANICAL It includes several destructive testing techniques, such as pressure

TESTING
and fracture testing, peel and crush testing, bend and tension
testing, Charpy impact testing, and Pellini drop weight testing.

Application

Testing for fracture toughness, tensile strength, and pressure at

high strain rates and test temperatures are all done using it.
Additionally, it is employed for all mechanical testing done in a
marine setting.
FATIGUE Description

TESTING performed in an environment of air or water. Equipment for

fatigue testing is frequently used to assess a material's
performance. Use repeatedly over time.

Application

Metals, polymers, textiles, adhesives, medical devices, and other

products and components are dynamically tested through fatigue
testing. These tests are used to evaluate the durability of welded
joints and parent materials under constant or varying amplitude
loads.
HYDROGEN Description

TESTING It includes substances that could corrode if exposed to hydrogen.

Application

In most cases, both metallic and nonmetallic materials are subject

to the hydrogen testing. Hydrogen testing is used on anything that
contains hydrogen.
RESIDUAL STRESS Description

MEASUREMENT those that are still present in a solid substance after any initial
stresses have been eliminated.

Application

It gauges the component's internal stress and how it affects the

surface. The distribution of near-surface and through-thickness
residual stresses can be determined by designers and engineers
through the measurement of residual stresses.
TENSILE Description

(ELONGATION) The most popular kind of mechanical testing is tensile testing.

TESTING
Application

It is used to measure the strength of a material by compressing or

elongating a component. The percentage elongation, yield point,
and tensile strength of a metal are all determined by this.

Toughness Test
Brinell Hardness Test
Choosing a suitable spherical indentor and placing it inside the holding device, we may
perform the Brinell hardness test. After that, position the test piece on the support table, tilt
the microscope so that its lens is vertical, and correct the test piece's height. Determine the
precise location where the hardness measurement will be conducted after focusing on the
test piece's surface. The process will begin after you press the start button. Use the control
knob to move the four measurement lines to the indentation's edge after the procedure to
determine its diameter. The testing device will then determine the test piece's Brinell
hardness. On the screen's bottom left corner, the outcome will be visible. Use the formula to
determine the Brinell Hardness. Test force F (in units of Kp) / surface area of indentation A =
Brinell hardness HB (Square mm).
 Rockwell Hardness Test
The permanent indentation depth of a hardened object under a test force is measured
by the Rockwell Hardness test. The diamond cone must push firmly (10 KP [F1 = 10 KP
(98.1N) point)) onto the test piece surface to pass the test. The reference point is the
indentation's depth after this initial load. The significant force, represented by F2, is an
increase in force of 140 kilopounds (F2= 140KP(1373N)). It indicates that a force of 150
KP is currently exerted on the indentor and that this force will last for a specific period
of time. The minor force continues to operate while the major force is reduced. It is
determined how much the indentation's depth has permanently increased. The
formula HRC = (O.2-e)500 can be used to get the Rockwell Hardness.
Barcol Hardness Test
By comparing the depth of penetration of an indentor loaded on a material
sample to the penetration in reference material, the Barcol Hardness Test
identifies the indentation hardness of materials. Typically, it is applied to
soft materials like stiff plastics. The specimen must have a thickness of at
least 1/16 inch. It is positioned beneath the Barcol Hardness Tester's
indentor. The specimen is subjected to uniform pressure up until the dial
indicator reaches its maximum. The degree of chipping densities depends
on the material's hardness, which is communicated by the intended spring
and lever to a dial and converted into absolute Barcol values by the
instrument.
 Impact Test
The impact test is used to evaluate a material sample's toughness. The
Charpy test and the Izod test are the two impact tests. The Charpy test is
used to assess the metal specimens' resistance to abrupt impact. While the
Charpy test and the Izod test differ slightly. In the Izod test, an appropriate
piece was struck with a striker attached to the pendular's end. The notch of
the test piece is towards the striker and it is secured vertically. At the
bottom of its downward swing, the striker strikes the test piece. In addition,
the right hammer's impact will be felt by the left hammer. The device will
determine the amount of energy absorbed by the test piece from the two
readings produced by the impact (the initial reading and final reading).
 Elasticity Test
The elasticity test measures how well the organic coated panel
performs after being severely bent on a conical mandrel. The
Elasticity test's step-by-step procedure is described below. After
being clamped, the coated panel is given a radial bend. The
panel is checked for coating flaking or cracking at various radius
values after the bending is finished. After radial bending at the
specified radius, the panel will pass if the organic coating does
not split or flake.
