Heat treatment is an essential technique for influencing workpiece characteristics. Several industries focus on reliable part design to avoid breaking parts, e.g. by decreasing material weight and ...

In this interview, AZoM talks to Christine Desplat, R&D Engineer at Master Bond, about how to test the hardness of adhesives. Hardness is typically indicative of an adhesive's overall functionality.

• Engineers can use hardness testing to verify the composition or heat-treatment history of materials. • Rockwell, Brinell, Vickers, and Shore are common hardness tests. Their use depends on the ...

A new method to determine yield strength based on hardness could be used in storage facility pipes with results more conservative than outlined in CFR Title 49 Part 195.106. Based on presentation to ...
