Overall, the 1018 and 1045 steel specimens displayed similar relationships between the heat-treating procedures. The 1045 steel had a greater tensile strength in all states except for the quenched state. In general, the 1018 steel specimens were more ductile than the 1045 steel specimens in all states.

DISCUSSION The above graph depicts the average Rockwell C Hardness achieved by each sample. This average disregards missing data or data that was noted as questionable. The graphed averages demonstrate the general trends of the different types of steels that were subjected to a heat treatment and quench media. Samples 1, 3, and 4 show a similar hardness after water quenching but differing characteristics during the other quenching types.

This experiment demonstrated some key differences in material properties of several heat treatments for 4140 steel. Annealing creates a soft and ductile material that is easy to machine and perform other operations on. Quenching creates a very hard and brittle material that has extremely high yield and tensile strengths. Tempering quenched steel softens the steel and provides a tradeoff between the hard and strong quenched steel and the soft annealed steel. Engineers are benefited by an understanding of heat treatment because they are better able to predict how a material will perform when loaded if they know the heat treatment state of that material. Thus the results of this experiment, and others like it available in literature, are very

How is Toughness Built? I am a big fan of mental and physical toughness. Every man will tell you they are physically and mentally tough but their lifestyle contradicts their belief. I have heard people comment on the high rep training that I do, and how boring it seems. They are right; it is boring and downright physically and mentally painful.

Tungsten carbide, which is often just called tungsten, and titanium are the most popular materials for contemporary rings. While some people believe there aren't many differences between the two metals, there are some definite differences to consider when making your choice between tungsten and titanium. After reading this list, you'll be able to see that it comes down to the person's lifestyle when trying to make a choice between tungsten and titanium.

Ceramics have high hardness and wear resistance, making them suitable for applications such as the articulating surfaces in joints and bone bonding surfaces in implants. Ceramics like alumina and zirconia are more appropriate to use in joint replacements and dentistry whereas hydroxyapatite or calcium

Cut-and-Chip Test Ohio Northern University May, 2016 – July, 2016 Background: Cut-and-chip is a phenomena in tires that manifests itself primarily from prolonged off-road use. As the tires are used off-road, the tread compound will be cut by rocks and eventually large pieces of the tread rubber are chipped off. Current tests involve manufacturing a series of test tires and sending them to a test track in Texas. The tires are then run on a controlled gravel road. Each set of tires is run for 1000 miles, 500 each day for two days. In each set of 500 miles, 100 miles are on flint rock and 400 miles are on the highway. The tires are then ranked visually by multiple engineers to determine which rubber compounds demonstrate the best cut-and-chip resistance. Thus, current testing is expensive, time-intensive, and subjective. Students at Ohio Northern University therefore built a tester that can use a lab test for tread rubber compounds. Cooper will be able to save time and money by testing much fewer compounds with the road test. However, although this tester is a very successful design, the cut-and-chip lab test using this tester is a brand new idea that has never been done by any engineers, as we know. Therefore, a summer intern project was created to investigate the usage of the tester and the cut-and-chip lab test. It should be noted that the investigation is a proof of concept study that many trials have to be performed to use the lab test for tread rubber compounds to

Keywords: IPS e.max;Press; CAD / CAM; core thickness; fracture strength. Introduction High-strength All ceramic restorations, with different composition, structure, and processing methods, have been introduced as an alternative to metal ceramic restorations in many applications (1). Due to their translucency and strength, IPS e.max ceramics have become increasingly popular as dental restorative materials (2) .They can be used as a substructure (core) to support the more fragile veneering ceramics in dental crowns (3-5). However few data in literature were about different coping thicknesses of IPS e.max to determine the optimum thickness which allows more conservative preparation and gives space for the veneering material.

Many different forms of NDT can be used for various applications that each have its own advantage and drawbacks. However, only a selected few are utilized in the automotive industry due to the specific needs of each component within the vehicle, along with the ability of the selected testing procedures
