Quality - Physical Testing |
|
|
| |
Physical testing is performed by the physical breakdown of a
casting. This is primarily used for examining the casting’s
physical characteristics such as porosity, hardness and
strength. |

Physical Testing Methods We Employ
C & L Aluminum Foundry, Inc. which recognizes
that product quality, integrity and reliability must be a
given, offers a range of physical tests such as Mechanical (test
bars) and Brinell Hardness.
When it comes to hardness, which is defined by the
material’s resistance to indentation and the permanent depth
of the indentation, we rely on the Brinell hardness testing.
It is perfectly suited to materials with a coarse structure
or rough surface, for example, castings and forgings.
We measure the indentation made by the Brinell machine with
a special microscope or optical system. The resulting
measurement is then converted to a Brinell value.

Tensile Test Bars |
|
Tensile testing is a materials science test in which a
sample is subjected to uniaxial tension until failure. The
results from the test are commonly used to select a material
for an application, for quality control, and to predict how
a material will react under other types of forces.
