  2. Magnesium wheels - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnesium_wheels

    The main disadvantage of forged wheels is the high manufacturing cost. Owing to the typically high costs of finished wheels, forged wheels are still rarely purchased by non-professional drivers for regular road use. But since forged wheels can be designed to be lighter than cast wheels for a given load, forged wheels do offer fuel economy and ...

  3. Schmidt hammer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schmidt_hammer

    The test hammer hits the concrete at a defined energy. Its rebound is dependent on the hardness of the concrete and is measured by the test equipment. By reference to a conversion chart, the rebound value can be used to determine the concrete's compressive strength. When conducting the test, the hammer should be held at right angles to the ...

  4. Forging - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forging

    Forging a nail. Valašské muzeum v přírodě, Czech Republic. Forging is one of the oldest known metalworking processes. [1] Traditionally, forging was performed by a smith using hammer and anvil, though introducing water power to the production and working of iron in the 12th century allowed the use of large trip hammers or power hammers that increased the amount and size of iron that could ...

  5. Universal testing machine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_testing_machine

    A universal testing machine (UTM), also known as a universal tester, [1] universal tensile machine, materials testing machine, materials test frame, is used to test the tensile strength (pulling) and compressive strength (pushing), flexural strength, bending, shear, hardness, and torsion testing, providing valuable data for designing and ...

  6. Steel casting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steel_casting

    Steel castings are used when iron castings cannot deliver enough strength or shock resistance. [1] Examples of items that are steel castings include: hydroelectric turbine wheels, forging presses, gears, railroad truck frames, valve bodies, pump casings, mining machinery, marine equipment, turbocharger turbines and engine cylinder blocks. [1]

  7. Pull off test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pull_off_test

    Applying the glue automatically and curing with UV light is the next step in automation. This methodology can also be used to measure direct tensile strength or/and the bond strength between two different layers. MIL-STD-883 methods 2011.9 destructive bond pull test [1] and 2031.1 flip chip pull off test [2] apply, as well as JEDEC JESD22-B109.

  8. Spark testing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spark_testing

    Spark testing of tool steel Spark testing of mild steel. Spark testing is a method of determining the general classification of ferrous materials. It normally entails taking a piece of metal, usually scrap, and applying it to a grinding wheel in order to observe the sparks emitted. [1]

  9. Concrete - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concrete

    The early strength of the concrete can be increased if it is kept damp during the curing process. Minimizing stress prior to curing minimizes cracking. High-early-strength concrete is designed to hydrate faster, often by increased use of cement that increases shrinkage and cracking. The strength of concrete changes (increases) for up to three ...
