Spectroscopy

Optical emission spectroscopy using arc and spark excitation (Arc Spark OES) is the preferred method for trace metal analysis to determine the chemical composition of metallic samples. This process is widely used in the metal making industries, including primary producers, foundries, die casters and manufacturing. Optical emission spectrometry involves applying electrical energy in the form of spark generated between an electrode and a metal sample, whereby the vaporized atoms are brought to a high energy state within a so-called "discharge plasma".
These excited atoms and ions in the discharge plasma create a unique emission spectrum specific to each element, as shown at right. Thus, a single element generates numerous characteristic emission spectral lines.

INCLUSION RATING TESTING

INCLUSION RATING TESTING:- Non-metallic inclusions process :- Non-metallic inclusions are chemical compounds and non metals that are present in steel and other alloys. They are the product of chemical reactions, physical effects, and contamination that occurs during the melting and pouring process. Sources of inclusions formation Non-metallic inclusions that arise because of different reaction during metal production are called natural or indigenous. They include oxide , sulfide , alumina silicate and Globular oxide .Singl Globular oxide Apart from natural inclusions there are also parts of Slag, refectories , material of a casting mould (the material the metal contacts during production) in the metal. Such non-metallic inclusions are called foreign, accidental or exogenous. Most inclusions in the reduction smelting of metal formed because of admixture dissolubility decreasing during cooling and consolidation. Non-metallic...

Step Down test

Step Down ( macro-streak-flaw ) test of steel bar. Scope:- This Standard specifies a step-down test method, blue fracture test method and magnetic particle inspection method to assess the non-metallic inclusions in rolled or forged steel with the naked eye or using a magnifying glass with a magnification of not more than 10x. Test piece:- The test piece shall be machined to the dimensions given below in figure table 1 The machined surface shall not be rough but shall be fairly smooth. Test Procedure Process :- Sample preparation are complete then ,sample Deep in hydro cloric acid (HCL) temperature 70~80 Degrees centigrade for 1 Hrs. After process are complete then clean with hot & cold water . Method of Examination:- The length and the number of flaws shall be determined under good illumination cither with an unaided eye or with low magnafication 15x Terminology:- A:- For the purpose of this standard the streak flaw shall mean defects arising from n...

Rockwell test procedure.

INFORMATION. Rockwell hardness test, a differential-depth method, the residual depth of the indent made by the indenter is measured.  The deeper a defined indenter penetrates at a defined test force into the surface of a workpiece (specimen), the softer the tested material. In the Rockwell method, the total test force is applied in two stages. This allows the impact of specimen surface roughness (e.g. grooves in the specimen) and measuring errors caused by backlash in indentation depth measurement to be eliminated. THE INDIVIDUAL ROCKWELL METHODS ARE DISTINGUISHED FROM EACH OTHER AND. The five resulting Rockwell methods use five different indenters (diamond cone with 120 o  curvature or a hard metal ball made from tungsten carbide with diameters of: 1/16",1/8",1/4",1/2") and six different total test forces (15, 30, 45, 60, 100, 150 kgf).. This results in 30 different - standardised according to ISO 6508 and ASTM E18 – Rockwell scales (e.g. A, B, C, 30N, ...
