Testing Flashcards
What is tensile testing?
-tensile testing measures the material strength, and the behaviour of the material under detention by gradually increased in the forces until it breaks
-tensile strength is the maximum stress and material can with stand before it breaks
What is toughness testing?
-toughness testing is a method used to evaluate materials ability to absorb energy, without cracking or breaking.
-Toughness testing the first amount of energy and material, and absorbed before a fracture or failure occurs.
-What is hardness testing?
-hardness testing is a technique used to determine a materials resistance to scratching or indenting.
-hardness value is an numerical measurement obtained from hardness testing, indicating the materials resistance to deformation
-what is ultrasonic testing?
-is a testing method that utilises high frequency soundwaves to inspect the internal structure of materials
-What is x-ray/radiographic testing?
-this is a nondestructive testing method that employs x-rays to examine the internal structure of an object x-rays show any defects that may occur.
