Metallurgical and Mechanical Tests of Materials

Abstract

Describes methods of evaluating the physical properties of components and causes of failures. Describes equipment required and procedures for chemical analysis (wet method, spectrographic, and X-ray emission spectrographic analysis); macroscopic examination (gross structure and fracture area); microscopic examination; and mechanical testing including tension tests, hardness tests (Rockwell, Brinell, Knoop, scleroscope, and Vickers), notched bar impact tests (Charpy and Izod), fracture toughness tests, and fatigue tests.
