MECHANICAL TESTING ROSE SIMON Abstract The experiment consisted of two parts of investigation‚ Mechanical and Creep testing. Under mechanical testing‚ two medium carbon steel (04%) specimens that had been through different heat treatment were tested on tension and for hardness. One had been cold drawn and the other was normalised. The specimens were grinded using fine and coarse silicon carbide paper to give a smooth finishing before testing using a Vickers Hardness testing machine. The

Aim: The objective is to identify specific chemical substances within a cell and to be able to verify the presence or absence of each one in a cell or food substance for future testing. Hypothesis: The identification of each biomolecular chemical substance should be verified successfully‚ as well as determining if it is present or absent in the cell(s). Theoretical Base: A biomolecule is a substance that naturally occurs in living organisms. Biomolecules consist primarily of carbon and hydrogen
