Search Results for Gleeble testing

This article focuses on the tests for evaluating the weldability, cracking susceptibility, weld pool shape, fluid flow, and weld penetration of base materials. These tests include different types of self-restraint tests, externally loaded tests for evaluating cracking susceptibility and weld penetration tests, weld pool shape tests, and Gleeble testing for evaluating weld pool shape, fluid flow, and weld penetration.

This article discusses two types of hot-tension tests, namely, the Gleeble test and conventional isothermal hot-tension test, as well as their equipment. It summarizes the data for hot ductility, strength, and hot-tension for commercial alloys. The article presents isothermal hot-tension test data, which helps to gain information on a number of material parameters and material coefficients. It details the effect of test conditions on flow behavior. The article briefly describes the detailed interpretation of data from the isothermal hot-tension test using numerical model. It also explains the cavitation mechanism and failure modes that occur during hot-tension testing.

This article is an atlas of fractographs that helps in understanding the causes and mechanisms of fracture of low-carbon steels and in identifying and interpreting the morphology of fracture surfaces. The fractographs illustrate the following: the intergranular fracture, bending impact fracture, brittle fracture, tensile-test fracture, transgranular fracture, cleavage fracture, delayed fracture, corrosion fatigue, inclusion morphology, fatigue crack propagation, and in-service fatigue fracture of various automotive components. These components include tie rod adjusting sleeves, automotive bolts, hydraulic jack shafts, crank handle collars, boiler tubes, drive shafts, bicycle pedal axles, lift-truck hydraulic-piston rods, and steel springs.
