CREEP AND 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 indenter was pressed into the specimens by an accurately controlled test force and the size of the indentation was observed by measuring the diagonals and averaging them out to get the Vickers hardness. The cold drawn specimen had a higher Vickers hardness of 285 and the
