Brinell Hardness Testing System Introduction In Brinell Hardness Testing Manufacturing, to test the permanent change in metal materials it is imperative that quality equipment is used to do so. After all, the hardness of a material determines its durability. The […]
In metallography, grinding is one of the fundamental processes done to study the structures of different materials. The process may be accomplished either manually or mechanically with the use of a grinding wheel, a bench grinder or a belt grinder. […]
Testing hardness can be a time-consuming process. Imagine being in the field and a piece of metal has to be measured for hardness. The nearest laboratory is miles away. That can really eat up time and slow down progress in […]
Brinell Hardness tests typically take place in a single area: wherever your hardness testing system is located. In other words, you bring the specimen to the machine. But what if you could bring the machine to the specimen? Thanks to […]
A hardness tester comes in two forms. The first one is the bench hardness tester. The other is the portable hardness tester. This guide will tell you more about the UCI hardness tester. How Does the Ultrasonic Hardness Tester Work? […]
Large-scale industries require various tests on their components to regulate the condition and stability of the whole system. Furthermore, these tests require large parameters, tools and a league of experts who can interpret all those data accumulated from these procedures. […]
The importance of accurate hardness testing cannot be ignored in industries requiring both strength and durability. When working with very small surface areas, such as a 2.5mm ball indentation in Brinell hardness testing, achieving high accuracy is a key component […]
Charpy impact tests are becoming increasingly popular in material testing due to their ability to provide valuable data on materials’ toughness and fracture resistance under high strain rates. Having a good understanding of material behavior during impacts is key to […]
NextGen Material Testing Inc. is proud to introduce it’s latest tech machine in metallography dual belt grinding, the GenGrind Belt BT. The GenGrind Belt BT is a machine that is from NEXTGEN’S GRINDING AND POLISHING EQUIPMENT LINE-UP. The machine is […]
Tensile test specimen preparation is an important step to any tensile test. How you prepare your sample can affect the accuracy of the results you obtain from your tensile test, especially if you are using imperfect methods such as cutting […]
