EXPERIMENT -1

TITLE: To study the stress strain tension characteristics of metals by using UTM Aim: To study the stress strain characteristics of mild steel by Universal Testing Machine Equipment: Universal testing machine, meter rule, dividers and scale, Test specimen. Theory: In tension test of ductile metals, the properties usually determined are yield Strength, ultimate tensile strength, modulus of elasticity, percentage of elongation etc. For brittle materials only compressive strength is determined. The tension test is normally carried out in a Universal Testing Machine (UTM). The specimen can be in the form of a rod or a plate. The dimensions of standard specimen can be known from accepted specifications. The following properties can be determined from the stress strain curve of the material: 1) Proportional limit: is that point on the stress strain curve at which the curve deviates from linearity, i.e. from the relation Stress — Young's modulus x strain. 2) Elastic limit: is the point on the stress strain curve above which plastic deformation (that is permanent deformation) starts. 3) Yield strength: is the stress required to produce a small amount of permanent or plastic deformation. In some materials such as mild steel, where there is occurrence of sharp yield point on the stress-strain curve, the stress value at the lower yield point is taken as the yield strength. In some materials like tor steel which does not have a sharp yield point, the offset yield strength or proof stress is taken as the measure of the yield strength. This is the stress at which a line drawn parallel to the initial portion of the curve, offset by a specified strain, intersects. The offset value is usually a strain of 0.002 (0.2% strain). The value of the yield strength is of great importance in design calculations. 4) Tensile strength or ultimate tensile strength (UTS) is the maximum load divided by the original cross sectional area of the specimen. U.T.S. corresponds to the peak or the highest stress value in the stress-strain curve.

5) Ductility: It is usually measured as percentage elongation in length or percentage reduction in area. These measures of ductility are obtained after fracture, by keeping together the two broken parts of the specimen. and measuring the gauge length at fracture, and area of cross section at fracture. Percentage elongation in length = Percentage Reduction in area =

𝐿𝐹 −𝐿0 𝐿0

𝐴0 −𝐴𝑓 𝐴0

Lo and Ao are initial gauge length and initial area of cross section respectively. Lf and Af are measured gauge length at fracture and area of cross section at fracture respectively.

The machine comprise of following main parts l. loading frame 2. hydraulic pumping system 3. PC Based control system and application software 4. Accessories l) Loading frame: The loading frame is robust and extremely rigid construction with high stiffness. It consists of a central cross head whose position is adjustable through a geared motor depending on the size of the test specimen. The lower table is carried by the piston of the hydraulic ram of suitable capacity positioned in the cast iron base of the machine. The upper cross head is carried by four steel columns fixed to the lower table. The machine has six pillars in total for stability and rigidly. Compression, transverse, bending, shear and hardness tests are carried out between the central cross head and lower table while the tension test is carried between the central and upper cross heads. Sensing of load is through a strain gauge based transducer (both tension and compression type), while the movement

EXPERIMENT - 5 Title: To determine the hardness using different hardness testing machines: Brinnel’s, Vicker’s and Rockwell’s. Aim: To determine the Rockwell hardness for the given test specimen Equipment: Rockwell Hardness Testing Machine, test specimen. Description: Hardness may be defined as resistance of metal to plastic deformation usually by indentation. However the term may also refer to stiffness or temper or resistance to scratch, abrasion or cutting. There are three general types of hardness measurements depending upon the manner in which the test is conducted. 1. Scratch hardness measurement. 2. Rebound hardness measurement. 3. Indentation Hardness measurement. In scratch hardness method the materials are rated on their ability to scratch one another and mineralogists use it. In rebound hardness measurement, a standard body is usually dropped on to the material surface and the hardness is measured in terms of the height of its rebound. The general means of judging the hardness is the resistance of a material to indentation. Indentation hardness may be measured by various hardness tests such as Brinell, Rockwell, etc. Rockwell hardness testing differs from Brinell testing. In Rockwell testing, the indenters and loads are smaller and therefore the resulting indentation on the specimen is smaller and shallower.

ROCKWELL METHOD Rockwell testing is suitable for materials having hardness beyond the scope of Brinell testing. Rockwell testing is faster as compared to Brinell testing, because the diameter of the indentation need not be measured. The Rockwell machine gives arbitrary direct reading, Unlike Brinell testing, Rockwell testing needs no surface preparation (Polishing) of the specimen whose hardness is to be measured. There are two scales on Rockwell testing specimen. i.e B scale and C scale. B scale uses a steel ball indenter where as a diamond cone penetrate is employed for measuring Hardness on C scale. B scale is for testing materials of medium hardness such as low and medium carbon steels in the annealed condition. The working range of this scale is from 0 to 100. C scale is used for testing materials harder than B-100. C scale is commonly used for testing the hardness of alloy cast irons. In Rockwell hardness testing, the minor load for all cases is 10 Kg. whereas major loads for scales C and B are 150 Kgf and 100kgf respectively, including minor load.

Some time we are using the scale F at 60kgf for annealed copper alloys and thin soft sheet metals according to ASTM E18 or IS 1586. For more details, table is given below:

Brinell hardness test: In this test, as per standard Brinall hardness test is conducted as per the ASTM EIO or IS 1500 specifications. For testing of iron and steel, a load of 3000 kg is applied on a 10 mm diameter ball indenter for at least 10 sec. and for non ferrous metals and alloys, a load of 500 kg is applied on the same indenter for at least 30 sec. The loads are gradually applied by means Of hydraulic mechanism. The ball indenters are made of either high carbon steel or tungsten carbide. After full application of load for the above times, load is slowly removed. The indenter is taken out and the diameter of circular impression is measured by a spherical microscope. This measuring instrument magnifies the image and with the calibrated grid provided in the eye piece, measurement of diameter is done with an accuracy of 0.01mm. The Brinell's hardness number is found J)ut by the equation given below. The Brinell hardness number gives the comparative hardness of a body. A specimen indented by the standard ball is shown.

Test requirements:

1. It is desirable to conduct the test at a temperature of 270+20 as per I.S. Code. 2. The testing machine shall be protected throughout the test from shock and vibrations. 3. The test piece shall be placed on a rigid support. The contact surfaces shall be clean and free from foreign matter. (Such as oil and dust) 4. The thickness of the test piece shall be at least 8 times the permanent indentation of depth. No deformation shall be visible at the back of the test piece after the test. 5. The distance between the centers of the two adjacent indentations shall be at least 4 times the diameters of the indentation and the distance from the center of any indentation to the edge of the test piece shall be at least 2.5 times the diameter of the indentation unless agreed otherwise.

Procedure: Rockwell method

1. Test piece is placed upon the machine. The dial may be showing any reading. 2. Hand wheel is turned, thereby raising the test piece up against the steel ball indenter till the needle of the small dial is against the red mark. This applies minor load. 3. Major load is applied by pressing the crank provided on the right hand side of the machine. Time is given as 30 sec so as to make the load reach specimen fully. 4. When the penetration is completed, the crank is turned in the reverse direction thereby with drawing the minor load but the leaving the major load applied. 5. The pointer moves further and becomes stand still. This reading is taken as Rockwell Hardness Number - B/C/F scale.( HRX, X may be B/C/F i.e. HRB or HRC or HRF) 6. Hand wheel is rotated and the test piece is lowered. 7. The calibration is according to the following equation

a) For Brale indenter / Diamond indenter 𝐻𝑎𝑟𝑑𝑛𝑒𝑠𝑠 𝑁𝑢𝑚𝑏𝑒𝑟 = 100 −

𝐷𝑒𝑝𝑡ℎ 𝑜𝑓 𝑝𝑒𝑛𝑒𝑡𝑟𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 𝑖𝑛 𝑚𝑚 0.002

𝐻𝑎𝑟𝑑𝑛𝑒𝑠𝑠 𝑁𝑢𝑚𝑏𝑒𝑟 = 130 −

𝐷𝑒𝑝𝑡ℎ 𝑜𝑓 𝑝𝑒𝑛𝑒𝑡𝑟𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 𝑖𝑛 𝑚𝑚 0.002

b) For ball indenter

Brinnel Hardness test: 1. The surface to be indented should be flat and it is free from dirt, scales and pits. 2. Fix the Brinell's hardness attachment to the centre crosshead of Universal testing machine 3. Place the test specimen on the lower crosshead of UTM 4. Start the machine and apply the load on the test specimen according to the I.S. standards 5. Once indentation is done remove the work piece from the UTM. Measure the diameter of indentation using Brinell's microscope. 6. Find the Brinell's hardness number by using empirical formula. 7. Carry the same procedure for further specimens

Precautions Rockwell Hardness l. successive impressions should not be superimposed on another nor may be too close together when making hardness determinations.

2. No reading should be made too close to the edge and Specimen should not be so thin that the impression comes through the other side. 3. Small dirt, scale Should be avoided because of the great sensibility of the Rockwell test.

Brinnel Hardness

1. Diameter of each indentation shall be measured in two at right angles to other and the mean value of the two readings be used for the purpose of determining hardness number. 2. Center of shall not less than a half times diameter of the impression from any edge of the test piece. 3. thickness of the test piece should be such that no marking showing the effect of the load shall on the underside. 4. This test should not be used for steel with hardness exceeding BHN 450 as no dent (impression) will left on surface. 5. It is desirable to conduct the test at a temperature of 270 ± 20 as IS. Code.
