High temperature hardness testing

High temperature hardness testing

To observe the material strength at high temperature

Measure the mechanical properties of high temperature

In engine or gas turbine applications, such as ascending temperature helps to improve the operation efficiency.In addition, such as metal hot working, remove the harmful greenhouse gas catalytic treatment, steam turbine and petrochemical processing applications require materials can keep strength at high temperature, corrosion resistance and/or wear resistance.Therefore, comparison of various materials under high temperature condition is very meaningful.

Hardness and wear tests can be performed on the same sample.The graph is: UMT TriboLab 1000 ℃ rotating module cavity.
Using HBB test to compare three different hardness of alloy under the high temperature measurement.

Why high temperature hardness test?

The answer is simple: hardness test is simple, quick and low cost.Although tensile test was to evaluate the high temperature strength of the traditional method, but need to have special samples and equipment.And hardness test can use tablet or stick very simple sample shape on the material strength comparison.

Scope of UMT TriboLab mechanical tester have different variety of head of force sensor, can be performed under the condition of room temperature to 1000 ℃, screening and comparison test of various kinds of materials.In addition, the hardness testing can be plastic, soft, super alloy and other kinds of metal materials.But also to the same high temperature wear test sample.
