Heat treatment is an essential technique for influencing workpiece characteristics. Several industries focus on reliable part design to avoid breaking parts, e.g. by decreasing material weight and ...

This film discusses hardness testing methods in engineering, specifically focusing on the Brunell and Rockwell hardness tests. It explains how hardness is measured through indentation and penetration ...

Fundamentally, hardness testing determines the resistance a material exhibits in response to the permanent deformation of another material’s penetration. If I take a piece of metal and rub something ...

The medical device and electronics industries manufacture products that are fundamentally different from ordinary hard goods. These high-technology products with critical end-use applications tend to ...
