Two digital Rockwell/Superficial Rockwell benchtop hardness testers (No. 3823 and No. 3824) with fully automated load/unload procedures are capable of testing in a range of 30 different Rockwell hardness scales for carbon steel, alloy steel, cast iron and nonferrous metals.

The Velocity Gauge enables the gas flow in the batch chamber to be checked during gas quenching.

Through a multiyear endeavor, Fabrisonic has been working with NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory to develop and qualify ultrasonic additive manufacturing (UAM) heat exchanger devices.

Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University’s (CMU) Center for Iron and Steelmaking Research are bringing computer-vision and machine-learning techniques to the study of inclusions, hoping to increase the efficiency of inclusion analysis and gain new insights.

TigTag, an automated barcode reader, is well suited for parts that experience multiple cycles of high temperatures in excess of 2000°F (1100°C) throughout their lifetime.

Many papers have been written on the subject of vacuum furnace leaks, how to detect them and how to find them.

Current codes, specifications and contracts usually require magnetic particle testing personnel to be certified. Here’s a look at what you need to know.

If you are doing failure analysis, you need to be able to tell if the component was made by the specified process.

The Jominy end-quench test is used to measure the hardenability of a steel, which is a measure of the capacity of the steel to harden in depth under a given set of conditions. This article considers the basic concepts of hardenability and the Jominy test.

Sintavia LLC, an independent metal additive manufacturer, acquired QC Laboratories Inc. (QC Labs), a nondestructive testing (NDT) services company based in Hollywood, Fla. The acquisition enhances Sintavia’s NDT capabilities for commercial aerospace applications, particularly with respect to surface-finish conformance testing. QC Labs specializes in radiographic (X-ray and gamma), fluorescent-penetrant, ultrasonic, magnetic-particle and eddy-current inspections. The company holds approvals for these processes from Honeywell Aerospace, Lockheed Martin, General Electric, Collins Aerospace, Pratt & Whitney, Cessna, Eaton, Aerojet Rocketdyne and Rolls-Royce.
