Study Notes
Hardness Testing
- The Brinell hardness tester measures the diameter of the impression made by a spherical penetrator on a metal surface, which is then converted to a Brinell number.
- The Rockwell hardness tester measures the depth of penetration of a penetrator into a metal surface, indicated by a Rockwell number on a red or black scale.
Rockwell Hardness Tester
- Uses minor and major loads, with three types of penetrators and three major loads available.
- Provides the same information as the Brinell tester, but measures the depth of penetration instead of the diameter of the impression.
Tensile Strength Testing
- Tests the tensile strength of a ferrous metal by applying a longitudinal load to a sample and plotting the load against the resulting elongations on a graph.
- Provides data on the strength of a metal.
Testing of Metallic Materials
- Testing is carried out with a test piece of the same material and thickness as the component being tested.
- Properties tested for include hardness, tensile strength, fatigue strength, and impact resistance.
Impact Resistance Testing
- The Charpy and Izod impact tests measure the impact resistance (or impact strength) of a metal.
- Both tests involve a pendulum hammer fracturing a notched piece of material with one blow.
- The main difference between the two tests is the beam configuration used.
Charpy V-Notch (CVN) Technique
- A common impact testing method used for metals.
- Involves a specimen with a V-notch, which is struck by a weighted pendulum hammer.
- The pendulum continues its swing, rising to a maximum final height, which is lower than the initial height.
Fatigue Strength Testing
- Establishes the stress level at which structural failure will occur.
- Involves a specially shaped test piece subjected to tension and compression stresses in a rotating machine.
- The number of cycles completed is measured to determine fatigue failure, which is then classified as fatigue life.
Airframe Fatigue Testing
- Aircraft are subjected to fatigue tests to determine the likelihood and causes of premature fatigue damage or wear on the airplane's structure and structural components.
- Provides data for the development of maintenance programs.
