Heat Treatment and Qualitative Metallographic Analysis Lab ME 3228: Mechanics & Materials Laboratory Summary Comparing a material’s initial treatment and the microstructures that are formed from different processes‚ an engineer can accurately understand why certain treated materials of the same family can be stronger than another. In this experiment annealed and cold-worked specimens of AISI 1018 STEEL are used‚ along with a Hardness tester‚ a grinding and polishing process‚ and a micrograph

Steel and heat treatment MILD STEEL Mild steel is also called plain carbon steel. It is the most common type of steel and it price is pretty low. Its composition is around about 0.05%-0.29% carbon content. Mild steel has a relatively low tensile strength but the surface can be hardened through carburizing. It is mostly used where large amounts of steel needs to be formed eg structural steel MEDIUM CARBON STEEL Medium carbon steel has great wear resistance and is used for forged automotive

which had many aspects on their transformation of mechanisms. Microstructure of bainite seems to be darker than the mastenisite under a microscope. The reason behind bainite structure became useful was because of its hardness. There are few Heat treatments that steel can be tested by such as Annealing‚ quenching Harderning‚ and Normalizing. Body Bainite is A combination of ferrite and cementite in ferrous metals that is harder than pearlite. Bainite contains needlelike grain structures‚ and

Title: Heat Treatment of Ferrous Objective: To determine the effect of heat treatment on mechanical properties of 1050 Steel. To reveal the microstructures of 1050 steel during heat treatments. Abstract In this experiment‚ we observed how the properties of plain carbon steel vary with the heat treatment condition. We prepared six different samples in three different heat treatment configurations and performed hardness tests on them by using the Rockwell tester and observed the microscopic

Discussion Based on the results of the lab it can be seen that the metal in the lab can be identified as lead. The identity of the metal was determined by the heat energy calculations. The heat capacity that was found matched closely to that of the lead. There were several possible sources of error that could be found throughout the lab. Some of the main errors as seen in question 7 that could have affected the results of the lab were the amount of water transferred with the hot metal‚ the

Heat of Neutralization Lab Objective: The objective of this lab was to measure‚ using a calorimeter‚ the energy changes accompanying neutralization reactions. Background: Chemical changes are always accompanied by a change in energy‚ typically as heat. If the reaction releases heat (ΔH < 0) then the reaction is exothermic. If the reaction absorbs heat (ΔH > 0) then the reaction is endothermic. The quantity of heat is measured experimentally by having the reaction take place in an insulated container called a

Ten Minutes of Specific Heat Remi Adams East Rowan High School AP Environmental Science Abstract Specific heat and climate were the primary focus of this lab. Specific heat is defined as “the measure of the ability of a substance to change temperature”. The purpose for carrying out this lab was to determine the specific heat/rates of both soil and water‚ and then comparing them. Students also were to relate specific heat to climate. Students were to determine which substance expressed

In this lab‚ we will measure the heat of combustion‚ or calorimetry‚ of a candle and compare the found quantity with known values for other hydrocarbons. The calorific value is the total thermal energy released when a substance goes through complete combustion with oxygen. In order to achieve the purpose of this lab‚ we must first determine the mass of the tea candle. Then‚ we will determine our room temperature‚ measure about 100 mL of chilled water‚ and then pour the water into the given empty

Specific Heat Lab Objective: Find the specific heat of the unknown metal given using calorimetry. Background Theory: In every reaction‚ energy is transferred between a system and its environment. A system encompasses the substances that are involved in a reaction‚ and everything else in the universe other than the system is called the environment. The standard SI unit of energy is Joules (J). Temperature is the level of excitement of the atoms in a substance. In most cases‚ energy is
