Module 8 Corrosion and Failure Analysis Objective Seven

Question 1

Wear Tests

Answer 1

allow you to observe wear mechanisms that can take place on surface materials under wear conditions

Question 2

Fatigue testing

Answer 2

used to determine material capacity to withstand cyclic loading
a machine subjects the specimen to repeated loading and unloading cases

Question 3

Creep Testing

Answer 3

used to determine creep behaviour of a material under constant loads and temps
a constant tensile load is applied on the specimen and the sample is heated to a constant temp

Question 4

Chemical analysis

Answer 4

the use of analytical chemistry techniques to identify the elements or chemical components that make up the composition of a material
