Despite its history and ubiquitous presence as an infrastructure material, steels remain a complex material system with many persisting research questions.
Shimadzu Scientific Instruments and Oklahoma State University (OSU) joined forces to establish The College of Engineering, Architecture and Technology’s (CEAT) Mechanical and Physical Properties Testing Lab. The new lab is part of the ExxonMobil Testing Laboratory in the new ENDEAVOR facility on OSU’s campus in Stillwater, Okla. Equipped with a collection of Shimadzu’s materials-testing instruments, the space will allow students to characterize materials by utilizing an array of scientific techniques.
Wisconsin Oven Corp. shipped six propane-gas-fired, enhanced-duty walk-in ovens to a material-testing laboratory. The batch ovens, which will be used for hydrogen embrittlement relief of various parts, have a maximum operating temperature of 500°F and work-chamber dimensions of 8 feet wide x 4 feet long x 4 feet high. They were designed with the capacity to heat 1,020 pounds of steel and 220 pounds of a load cart from 70°F to 480°F within 60 minutes when loaded.
It has only recently become possible to look at the internal structure of engineering materials in a way that is "natural" to our brain (i.e., in 3-D).
The Additive Manufacturing Center was established at the University of Connecticut (UConn) in April 2013 in partnership with Pratt & Whitney to advance additive-manufacturing (AM) research and development. The facility recently expanded their capabilities by adding a material testing and simulation system that combines high-temperature capabilities with high-speed deformation.
Instron, a leading provider of testing equipment designed to evaluate the mechanical properties of materials and components, is celebrating its 70th anniversary on March 15.
