TRANSVERSE TENSILE TEST

TRANSVERSE TENSILE TEST

Object:   Used to measure the transverse tensile strength under static loading of a butt joint employing butt welds.
The reduced section tensile test normally fails in the parent metal and so it is not designed to give the tensile strength of the weld.
The radius reduced tensile test is a test of the as deposited diluted weld metal.
The all weld tensile test, using a longitudinal section from the weld only, is used to check the as deposited undiluted weld metal. (Usually used by consumable manufacturers.)

Method: The test piece is clamped at each end and a load is applied by an hydraulic or screw mechanism. The load is increased until fracture occurs.

Reporting Results:
  1. Type of specimen (e.g. reduced section). 
  2. Whether excess eld metal is removed or not.
  3. Tensile strength, in Newtons per mm squared, is calculated from maximum load and original cross sectional area. When excess weld metal is not removed, the cross sectional area shall be the prod uct of the parent metal thickness and the width of the specimen.
  4. Location of fracture - whether in parent plate, heat affected zone or weld metal. If the fracture is in the parent metal, the distance from the weld zone shall be stated. 
  5. Location and type of any flaws present on the fracture surface.

The test gives a measure of percentage elongation, percentage reduction in area and ultimate
tensile strength.

The tensile test gives a measure of DUCTILITY.
(in Newtons per mm squared), a combination of percentage elongation and percentage reduction in area.

Part - 6 Most commonly asked Mechanical Interview Questions with answer

Most commonly asked Mechanical Interview Questions  1.           Why Entropy decreases with increase in temperature? Ans.      ds=dQ/T Entropy is inversely proportional to the temperature so, as temp. Increases, entropy decreases. 2.            Why different types of sound are produced in different bikes, though they run on SI Engines? Ans.        Engine specifications are different in different manufactures like as Bore Diameter (CC), Ignition timing. Also the exhaust passage takes more responsible for sound. 3.            How much Watt means 1Hp? Ans.       746.2 Watt 4.            Explain Bicycle Rear Wheel Sprocket working? Ans.       Rear wheel sprocket works u...

BEND TESTS

BEND TESTS Object:   To determine the soundness of weld metal, heat affected zone and weld zone.These tests may also be used to give some measure of the ductility of the weld zone. It is not usual to use transverse and longitudinal bend tests for the same application. Method:   All specimens to be removed and prepared without causing significant distortion or heating. The cap and root are ground flush. The specimen is bent by the movement of a former of prescribed diameter, the relevant side of the specimen to be placed in tension. Angle of bend and diameter of former should be as specified in the appropriate standard. Reporting Results: Thickness of specimen Direction of bend (root or face) Angle of bend Diameter of former Appearance of joint after bending e.g. type and location of flaws

Part -2 Most commonly asked Mechanical Interview Questions

Most commonly asked Mechanical Interview Questions 1. What is the difference between Critical Speed and Whirling Speed? Ans. In Solid mechanics, in the field of rotor dynamics, the critical speed is the theoretical angular velocity which excites the natural frequency of a rotating object, such as a shaft, propeller or gear. As the speed of rotation approaches the objects natural frequency, the object begins to resonate which dramatically increases system vibration. The resulting resonance occurs regardless of orientation.Whirling Speed is due to the unbalanced forces acting on a rotating shaft. 2. How a Diesel Engine Works as Generator? Ans. Diesel engine is a prime mover, for a generator, pump,and for vehicles etc. generator is connected to engine by shaft. mostly in thermal power plat ,there is an engine is used to drive generator to generate power. 3. Explain Second Law of Thermodynamics? Ans. The entropy of the universe increases over tim...
