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.

CHARPY V NOTCH IMPACT TEST
Reporting Results:
  1. Location and orientation of the notch. 
  2. Testing temperature.
  3. Energy absorbed in joules. 
  4. Description of fracture appearance.
  5. Location of any defects.
CHARPY V NOTCH IMPACT TEST

The Charpy impact test, measured in joules, is an assessment of TOUGHNESS. Transition temperature (curve) in steel.

MACRO SECTION

MACRO SECTION Object: To examine a cross section of a weld for internal defects and soundness. Method:  A transverse section of the weld is cut out. The cross section is then visually inspected. The section is filed down from rough to smooth, then emery or wet/dry papered down to a surface finish of 600 grit. The surface is then etched in NITAL (5% - 10% nitric acid in alcohol), washed off, rinsed and dried. (Possibly a final clean with acetone and mount in Bakelite) The specimen is then inspected at up to 10-x magnification. Reporting Results: Material. Welding process. Specimen identification. Sentencing standard. Thickness. Geometric flaws - type, size and location. Internal flaws - type, size and location. Parent metal flaws - type, size and location. Accept or reject, to standard, for each flaw.    Comparison of macro section and micro section:                             ...

Part -8 Most commonly asked Mechanical Interview Questions

Most commonly asked Mechanical Interview Questions  ·          What happens if gasoline is used in a Diesel engine?Diesel engine will work ? No, It will not work,as the Compression ratio of Petrol engine is 6 to 10 & that of Diesel engine is 15 to 22 . Thus on such high compression, gasoline gets highly compressed & it may blast. ·          Which Mechanism is used in Automobile gearing system Differential mechanism ·           Why different types of sound are produced in different bikes though they say run on SI engine Engine specifications are different in different manufactures like as Bore Diameter(CC), Ignition timing.Also the exhaust passage take more responsible for sound. ·           Why entropy decreases with the increase in temperature? ds=dQ/T Entropy is inversely proportional to the temperatu...
