FILLET WELD FRACTURE TEST

FILLET WELD FRACTURE TEST


Object:  To break the joint through the weld to permit examination of the fracture surfaces for flaws and to check root penetration and fusion.

Method: The specimen is cut to length and a saw cut, normally 2 mm deep, is made along the center of the weld face. The specimen is fractured by bending or hammer blows.

FILLET WELD FRACTURE TEST


Reporting Results:
  1. Thickness of parent material. 
  2. Throat thickness and leg length. 
  3. Location of fracture.
  4. Appearance of joint after fracture.
  5. Depth of penetration / lack of penetration or fusion.

What is Annealing ?

Annealing:- Annealing  Process :- Annealing is a heat treatment process by which the properties of steel are enhanced to meet machinability requirements. In this process Hypoeutectoid steels (less than 0.83% carbon) are heated above upper critical temp., soaked and cooled slowly and  Hypereutecoid (above 0.83%) are heated above lower critical temp., soaked and allowed to cool slowly. Annealing  Process Steps: 1.Heat material into the asutenite region (i.e. above 1600F) – rule of thumb: hold   steel for one hour for each one inch of thickness 2.Slowly furnace cool the steel – DO NOT QUENCH 3.Key slow cooling allows the C to precipitate out so resulting structure is coarse  pearlite with excess ferrite 4.After annealing steel is quite soft and ductile The purpose of Annealing is : 1)Reduce hardness and brittleness 2)Alter microstructure for desired mechanical properties 3)Soften...

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.

4 job interview mistakes hiring managers will eliminate you for, according to LinkedIn

4 Things to avoid during interview If you've applied for a job and are lucky enough to score an interview, don't let one mistake ruin your chances of getting the job. A LinkedIn survey of more than 550 hiring managers found that when it comes to a job interview, even small mistakes can put a candidate out of the running. Here are four things you should never be caught doing, according to the survey: 4. Checking your phone Even the slightest glance at your phone during a job interview could cost you. More than one out of every three hiring managers polled said they would eliminate a candidate for looking at his or her cell. Checking your phone gives the impression that you're not totally there mentally and don't respect the person sitting right in front of you. Be safe and before the interview, turn your phone, and it's thousands of notifications, off. 3. Looking disheveled Nearly half of interviewers — 46 percent, to be exact — said they had el...
