hardness and its rather high impact strength. GPPS‚ also known as the ordinary polystyrene‚ is a raw material to make HIPS. HIPS is made out of ordinary or general purpose polystyrene and rubber. The addition of rubber to the polymer improves the toughness of the material; hence it can withstand greater impact strength. This concludes the fact that HIPS has higher impact strength than GPPS.

Introduction: In early 60’s a historical survey of metallurgical research where bainite was discovered. This microstructure was named by Bian’s colleageus at the United States Steel Corportion. At first microstructure of martensite and bainite seem similar‚ 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

In the sport of baseball‚. an above average player is seen when their batting average is above .300‚ in other words‚ getting a hit 3 out of every 10 at-bats. Above is considered a great player‚ and below is a below-average player. The same can be said in school as in the sport of baseball. A majority will be considered average‚ but you have the select few that fall on either side of the spectrum‚ almost as a bell curve. I am lucky enough to be on the right side‚ as an above average person in all

Impact Test is conducted to study the toughness of some specimens of steel. Toughness is the measure of the ability of a material to absorb energy up to fracture. It has been discovered that the larger the area under a material’s stress-strain curve‚ the tougher it is. Therefore a more ductile material is tougher. An impact test is used to ascertain the fracture characteristics of the material‚ and it merely offers a relative sense of a material’s toughness. 2. APPARATUS (i) Vicker’s Hardness
