NDT ( NON DESTRUCTIVE TESTING )

NDT (NON DESTRUCTIVE TESTING) :-

Non Destructive Testing in great variety are in world wide used to detect variations in structure,minute changes in surface finish, the presence of cracks or other physical discontinuities,measure the thickness of materials and coatings and to determine other characteristics of industrial products.

REASON'S FOR THE USE OF NDT:

"NDT" is used by the manufacturers for the following reasons:

1. To ensure product reliability.

2. To make profit for the user.

a) To ensure customer satisfaction

b) To aid in better product reliability.

c) To control the manufacturing processes.

d) To lower the manufacturing costs.

e) To maintain uniform quality level.

SOME OF THE MOST COMMON NDT METHODS ARE :

1.VISUAL INSPECTION

2.LIQUID PENETRATION TEST

3.MAGNETIC PARTICLE TEST

4.RADIOGRAPHY TEST

5.ULTRASONIC TEST

Part -7 Most commonly asked Mechanical Interview Questions

Most commonly asked Mechanical Interview Questions What are the different types of fits? Explain? On the basis of Indian standards fits can mainly be categorised into three groups: > Clearance Fit : These types of fits are characterised by the occurrence of a clearance between the two mating parts. The difference between the minimum size of the hole and the maximum size of the shaft is called the minimum clearance, the difference between the maximum size of the hole and the minimum size of the shaft is known as maximum clearance. > Interference Fit : In these types of fits the size of the mating parts are predefined so that interference between them always occurs. The tolerance zone of the hole is completely below the tolerance zone of the shaft. > Transition Fit : As the name suggests these type of fit has its mating parts sized limited to allow either clearance or interference. The tolerance zone of the hole and the shaft overlaps in case of such fits. For a shaf

CHARPY V NOTCH IMPACT TEST

CHARPY V NOTCH IMPACT TEST Object : To determine the amount of energy absorbed in fracturing a standardized test piece at a specified temperature. Method : A machined, notched specimen is broken by one blow from a pendulum. Because scatter occurs in the results, at least three specimens are used to assess the joint represented. Testing is carried out at a temperature specified in the appropriate application standard. Reporting Results: Location and orientation of the notch. Testing temperature. Energy absorbed in joules. Description of fracture appearance. Location of any defects. The Charpy impact test, measured in joules, is an assessment of TOUGHNESS. Transition temperature (curve) in steel.

Rockwell Hardness Test

Rockwell Hardness Test The Rockwell hardness test method consists of indenting the test material with a diamond cone or hardened steel ball indenter. The indenter is forced into the test material under a preliminary minor load FO usually I 0 kgf. When equilibrium has been reached, an indicating device, which follows the movements of the indenter and so responds to changes in depth of penetration of the indenter is set to a datum position. While the preliminary minor load is still applied an additional major load is applied with resulting increase in penetration . When equilibrium has again been reach, the additional major load is removed but the preliminary minor load is still maintained. Removal of the additional major load allows a partial recovery, so reducing the depth of penetration. The permanent increase in depth of penetration, resulting from the application and removal of the additional major load is used to calculate the Rockwell hardness number.
