Browse through our catalogs below and let us know the brand and model number and we will provide you our offers: HAIDA Color Assessment Cabinet SADT-SINOAGE Brand Metrology and Test Equipment Catalog In this catalog you will find some high quality metallurgical microscopes and inverted microscopes. SINOWON Instant Vision Measuring System SINOWON Profile Projector SINOWON Toolmakers Microscope SINOWON Vision Measuring Machine SINOWON Video Microscope We offer both FLEXIBLE and RIGID FIBERSCOPE and BORESCOPE models and they are primarily used for NONDESTRUCTIVE TESTING in confined spaces, like crevices in some concrete structures and aircraft engines. Both of these optical instruments are used for visual inspection. There are however differences between fiberscopes and borescopes: One of them is the flexibility aspect. Fiberscopes are made of flexible optic fibers and have a viewing lens attached to their head. The operator can turn the lens after insertion of the fiberscope into a crevice. This increases the operator’s view. To the contrary, borescopes are generally rigid and allow the user to view only straight ahead or at right angles. Another difference is the light source. A fiberscope does transmit light down its optical fibers to illuminate the observation area. On the other hand, a borescope has mirrors and lenses so light can be bounced from between mirrors to illuminate the observation area. Lastly, the clarity is different. Whereas fiberscopes are limited to a range of 6 to 8 inches, borescopes can provide a wider and clearer view as compared to fiberscopes. OPTICAL MICROSCOPES : These optical instruments use visible light (or UV light in the case of fluorescence microscopy) to produce an image. Optical lenses are used to refract the light. The first microscopes that were invented were optical. Optical microscopes can be further subdivided into several categories. We focus our attention to two of them: 1.) COMPOUND MICROSCOPE : These microscopes are composed of two lens systems, an objective and an ocular (eye piece). The maximum useful magnification is about 1000x. 2.) STEREO MICROSCOPE (also known as DISSECTING MICROSCOPE): These microscopes magnify to about maximum 100x and supply a 3D view of the specimen. They are useful for observing opaque objects. METALLURGICAL MICROSCOPES : Our downloadable SADT catalog with the link above does contain metallurgical and inverted metallographic microscopes. So please see our catalog for product details. In order to acquire a basic understanding about these types of microscopes, please go to our page COATING SURFACE TEST INSTRUMENTS. FIBERSCOPES : Fiberscopes incorporate fiber optic bundles, consisting of numerous fiber optic cables. Fiber optic cables are made of optically pure glass and are as thin as a human’s hair. The main components to a fiber optic cable are: Core, which is the center made of high purity glass, cladding which is he outer material surrounding the core that prevents light from leaking and finally buffer which is the protective plastic coating. Generally there are two different fiber optic bundles in a fiberscope: The first one is the illumination bundle which is designed to carry light from the source to the eyepiece and the second one is the imaging bundle designed to carry an image from the lens to the eyepiece. A typical fiberscope is made up of the following components: -Eyepiece: This is the part from where we observe the image. It magnifies the image carried by the imaging bundle for easy viewing. -Imaging Bundle: A strand of flexible glass fibers transmitting the images to the eyepiece. -Distal Lens: A combination of multiple micro lenses that take images and focus them into the small imaging bundle. -Illumination System: A Fiber optic light guide that sends light from the source to the target area (eyepiece) -Articulation System: The system providing the user the ability to control the movement of the bending section of the fiberscope that is directly attached to the distal lens. -Fiberscope Body: The control section designed to help one hand operation. -Insertion Tube: This flexible and durable tube protects the fiber optic bundle and articulation cables. -Bending Section – The most flexible part of the fiberscope connecting the insertion tube to the distal viewing section. -Distal Section: ending location for both the illumination and imaging fiber bundle. BORESCOPES / BOROSCOPES : A borescope is an optical device consisting of a rigid or flexible tube with an eyepiece on one end, and an objective lens on the other end linked together by a light transmitting optical system in between. Optical fibers surrounding the system are generally used for illuminating the object to be viewed. An internal image of the illuminated object is formed by the objective lens, magnified by the eyepiece and presented to the viewer's eye. Many modern borescopes can be fitted with imaging and video devices. Borescopes are used similar to fiberscopes for visual inspection where the area to be inspected is inaccessible by other means. Borescopes are considered nondestructive test instruments for viewing and examining defects and imperfections. The areas of application is only limited by your imagination. The term FLEXIBLE BORESCOPE is sometimes used interchangeably with the term fiberscope. One disadvantage for flexible borescopes originates from pixelation and pixel crosstalk due to the fiber image guide. Image quality varies widely among different models of flexible borescopes depending on the number of fibers and construction used in the fiber image guide. High end borescopes offer a visual grid on image captures that aids in evaluating the size of the area under inspection. For flexible borescopes, articulation mechanism components, range of articulation, field of view and angles of view of the objective lens are also important. Fiber content in the flexible relay is also critical to provide the highest possible resolution. Minimal quantity is 10,000 pixels while the best images are obtained with higher numbers of fibers in the 15,000 to 22,000 pixels range for the larger diameter borescopes. The ability to control the light at the end of the insertion tube allows the user to make adjustments that can significantly improve the clarity of images taken. On the other hand, RIGID BORESCOPES generally provide a superior image and lower cost compared to a flexible borescope. The shortcoming of rigid borescopes is the limitation that access to what is to be viewed must be in a straight line. Therefore, rigid borescopes have a limited area of application. For similar-quality instruments, the largest rigid borescope that will fit the hole gives the best image. A VIDEO BORESCOPE is similar to the flexible borescope but uses a miniature video camera at the end of the flexible tube. The end of the insertion tube includes a light which makes it possible to capture video or still images deep within the area of investigation. The ability of video borescopes to capture video and still images for later inspection is very useful. Viewing position can be changed via a joystick control and displayed on the screen mounted on its handle. Because the complex optical waveguide is replaced with an inexpensive electrical cable, video borescopes can be much less costly and potentially offer better resolution. Some borescopes offer USB cable connection.

Casting and Machined Parts, CNC Manufacturing, Milling, Turning, Swiss Type Machining, Die Casting, Investment Casting, Lost Foam Cast Parts from AGS-TECH Inc. Лиење и обработка Our custom casting and machining techniques are expendable and non-expendable castings, ferrous and nonferrous casting, sand, die, centrifugal, continuous, ceramic mold, investment, lost foam, near-net-shape, permanent mold (gravity die casting), plaster mold (plaster casting) and shell castings, machined parts produced by milling and turning using conventional as well as CNC equipment, swiss type machining for high throughput inexpensive small precision parts, screw machining for fasteners, non-conventional machining. Please keep in mind that besides metals and metal alloys, we machine ceramic, glass and plastic components as well in some cases when manufacturing a mould is not appealing or not the option. Machining of polymer materials requires the specialized experience we have because of the challenge plastics and rubber presents due to their softness, non-rigidity...etc. For machining of ceramic and glass, please see our page on Non-Conventional Fabrication. AGS-TECH Inc. manufactures and supplies both lightweight and heavy castings. We have been supplying metal castings and machined parts for boilers, heat exchangers, automobiles, micromotors, wind turbines, food packaging equipment and more. We recommend that you click here to DOWNLOAD our Schematic Illustrations of Machining and Casting Processes by AGS-TECH Inc. This will help you better understand the information we are providing you below. Let’s look at some of the various techniques we offer in detail: • EXPENDABLE MOLD CASTING : This broad category refers to methods that involve temporary and non-reusable molds. Examples are sand, plaster, shell, investment (also called lost-wax) and plaster casting. • SAND CASTING : A process where sand is used as the mold material. A very old method and still very popular to the extent that the majority of metal castings produced are made by this technique . Low cost even at low quantity production. Suitable for small and large parts manufacturing. The technique can be used to manufacture parts within days or weeks with very little investment. The moist sand is bonded together using clay, binders or special oils. Sand is generally contained in mold boxes and cavity & gate system are created by compacting the sand around models. The processes are: 1.) Placing of the model in sand to make the mold 2.) Incorporation of model and sand in a gating system 3.) Removal of model 4.) Filling of mold cavity with molten metal 5.) Cooling of the metal 6.) Breaking the sand mold and removal of the casting • PLASTER MOLD CASTING : Similar to sand casting, and instead of sand, plaster of paris is being used as the mold material. Short production lead times like sand casting and inexpensive. Good dimensional tolerances and surface finish. Its major disadvantage is that it can only be used with low melting point metals like aluminum and zinc. • SHELL MOLD CASTING : Also similar to sand casting. Mold cavity obtained by hardened shell of sand and thermosetting resin binder instead of flask filled with sand as in sand casting process. Almost any metal suitable to be cast by sand can be cast by shell molding. The process can be summarized as: 1.) Manufacturing of the shell mold. Sand used is of a much smaller grain size when compared to sand used in sand casting. The fine sand is mixed with thermosetting resin. The metal pattern is coated with a parting agent to make removal of the shell easier. Thereafter the metal pattern is heated and the sand mixture is pored or blown onto the hot casting pattern. A thin shell forms on the surface of the pattern. The thickness of this shell can be adjusted by varying the length of time the sand resin mixture is in contact with the metal pattern. The loose sand is then removed with the shell covered pattern remaining. 2.) Next, the shell and pattern are heated in an oven so that the shell hardens. After hardening is complete, the shell is ejected from pattern using pins built into the pattern. 3.) Two such shells are assembled together by gluing or clamping and make up the complete mold. Now the shell mold is inserted into a container in which it is supported by sand or metal shot during the casting process. 4.) Now the hot metal can be poured into the shell mold. Advantages of shell casting are products with very good surface finish, possibility of manufacturing complex parts with high dimensional accuracy, process easy to automate, economical for large volume production. Disadvantages are the molds necessitate good ventilation because of gases that are created when molten metal contacts the binder chemical, the thermosetting resins and metal patterns are expensive. Due to the cost of metal patterns, the technique may not suit well for low quantity production runs. • INVESTMENT CASTING ( also known as LOST-WAX CASTING ): Also a very old technique and suitable for manufacturing quality parts with high accuracy, repeatability, versatility and integrity from many metals, refractory materials and special high performance alloys. Small as well as large sized parts can be produced. An expensive process when compared to some of the other methods, but major advantage is the possibility to produce parts with near net shape, intricate contours and details. So the cost is somewhat offset by the elimination of rework and machining in some cases. Even though there can be variations, here is a summary of the general investment casting process: 1.) Creation of original master pattern from wax or plastic. Each casting needs one pattern as these are destroyed in the process. Mold from which patterns are manufactured is also needed and most of the time the mold is cast or machined. Because the mold does not need to be opened, complex castings can be achieved, many wax patterns can be connected like the branches of a tree and poured together, thus enabling production of multiple parts from a single pouring of the metal or metal alloy. 2.) Next, the pattern is dipped or poured over with a refractory slurry composed of very fine grained silica, water, binders. This results in a ceramic layer over the surface of the pattern. The refractory coat on pattern is left to dry and harden. This step is where the name investment casting comes from: Refractory slurry is invested over the wax pattern. 3.) At this step, the hardened ceramic mould is turned upside down and heated so that the wax melts and pours out of the mould. A cavity is left behind for the metal casting. 4.) After the wax is out, the ceramic mold is heated to even a higher temperature which results in strengthening of the mold. 5.) Metal casting is poured into the hot mold filling all intricate sections. 6.) Casting is allowed to solidify 7.) Finally the ceramic mould is broken and manufactured parts are cut from the tree. Here is a link to Investment Casting Plant Brochure • EVAPORATIVE PATTERN CASTING : The process uses a pattern made from a material such as polystyrene foam that will evaporate when hot molten metal is poured into the mold. There are two types of this process: LOST FOAM CASTING which uses unbonded sand and FULL MOLD CASTING which uses bonded sand. Here are the general process steps: 1.) Manufacture the pattern from a material such as polystyrene. When large quantities will be manufactured, the pattern is molded. If part has a complex shape, several sections of such foam material may need to be adhered together to form the pattern. We often coat the pattern with a refractory compound to create a good surface finish on the casting. 2.) The pattern is then put into molding sand. 3.) The molten metal is poured into the mould, evaporating the foam pattern, i.e. polystyrene in most cases as it flows through the mold cavity. 4.) The molten metal is left in the sand mold to harden. 5.) After it is hardened, we remove the casting. In some cases, the product we manufacture requires a core within the pattern. In evaporative casting, there is no need to place and secure a core in the mold cavity. The technique is suitable for manufacturing of very complex geometries, it can be easily automated for high volume production, and there are no parting lines in the cast part. The basic process is simple and economical to implement. For large volume production, since a die or mold is needed to produce the patterns from polystyrene, this may be somewhat costly. • NON-EXPANDABLE MOLD CASTING : This broad category refers to methods where the mold does not need to be reformed after each production cycle. Examples are permanent, die, continuous and centrifugal casting. Repeatability is obtained and parts can be characterized as NEAR NET SHAPE. • PERMANENT MOLD CASTING : Reusable molds made from metal are used for multiple castings. A permanent mold can generally be used for tens of thousands of times before it wears out. Gravity, gass pressure or vacuum are generally used to fill the mould. Molds (also called die) is generally made of iron, steel, ceramic or other metals. The general process is: 1.) Machine and create the mould. It is common to machine the mold out of two metal blocks that fit together and can be opened and closed. Both the part features as well as the gating system is generally machined into the casting mould. 2.) The internal mold surfaces are coated with a slurry incorporating refractory materials. This helps to control heat flow and acts as a lubricant for easy removal of the cast part. 3.) Next, the permanent mold halves are closed and the mold is heated. 4.) Molten metal is poured into mould and let still for solidification. 5.) Before much cooling occurs, we remove the part from permanent mold using ejectors when mold halves are opened. We frequently use permanent mold casting for low melting point metals such as zinc and aluminum. For steel castings, we use graphite as mold material. We sometimes obtain complex geometries using cores within permanent molds. Advantages of this technique are castings with good mechanical properties obtained by rapid cooling, uniformity in properties, good accuracy and surface finish, low reject rates, possibility of automating the process and producing high volumes economically. Disadvantages are high initial setup costs which make it unsuitable for low volume operations, and limitations on the size of the parts manufactured. • DIE CASTING : A die is machined and molten metal is pushed under high pressure into mold cavities. Both nonferrous as well as ferrous metal die castings are possible. The process is suitable for high quantity production runs of small to medium sized parts with details, extremely thin walls, dimensional consistency and good surface finish. AGS-TECH Inc. is capable to manufacture wall thicknesses as small as 0.5 mm using this technique. Like in permanent mold casting, the mold needs to consist of two halves that can open and close for removal of part produced. A die casting mold may have multiple cavities to enable production of multiple castings with each cycle. Die casting molds are very heavy and much larger than the parts they produce, therefore also expensive. We repair and replace worn out dies free of charge for our customers as long as they reorder their parts from us. Our dies have long lifetimes in the several hundred thousand cycles range. Here are the basic simplified process steps: 1.) Production of the mold generally from steel 2.) Mold installed on die casting machine 3.) The piston forces molten metal to flow in the die cavities filling out the intricate features and thin walls 4.) After filling the mold with the molten metal, the casting is let hardened under pressure 5.) Mold is opened and casting removed with the help of ejector pins. 6.) Now the empty die are lubricated again and are clamped for the next cycle. In die casting, we frequently use insert molding where we incorporate an additional part into the mold and cast the metal around it. After solidification, these parts become part of the cast product. Advantages of die casting are good mechanical properties of the parts, possibility of intricate features, fine details and good surface finish, high production rates, easy automation. Disadvantages are: Not very suitable for low volume because of high die and equipment cost, limitations in shapes that can be cast, small round marks on cast parts resulting from contact of ejector pins, thin flash of metal squeezed out at the parting line, need for vents along the parting line between the die, necessity to keep mold temperatures low using water circulation. • CENTRIFUGAL CASTING : Molten metal is poured into the center of the rotating mold at the axis of rotation. Centrifugal forces throw the metal towards the periphery and it is let to solidify as the mold keeps rotating. Both horizontal and vertical axis rotations can be used. Parts with round inner surfaces as well as other non-round shapes can be cast. The process can be summarized as: 1.) Molten metal is poured into centrifugal mould. The metal is then forced to the outer walls due to spinning of the mold. 2.) As the mold rotates, the metal casting hardens Centrifugal casting is a suitable technique for production of hollow cylindirical parts like pipes, no need for sprues, risers and gating elements, good surface finish and detailed features, no shrinkage issues, possibility to produce long pipes with very large diameters, high rate production capability. • CONTINUOUS CASTING ( STRAND CASTING ) : Used to cast a continuous length of metal. Basically the molten metal is cast into two dimensional profile of the mold but its length is indeterminate. New molten metal is constantly fed into the mould as the casting travels downward with its length increasing with time. Metals such as copper, steel, aluminum are cast into long strands using continuous casting process. The process may have various configurations but the common one can be simplified as: 1.) Molten metal is poured into a container located high above the mold at well calculated amounts and flow rates and flows through the water cooled mold. The metal casting poured into the mould solidifies to a starter bar placed at the bottom of the mold. This starter bar gives the rollers something to grab onto initially. 2.) The long metal strand is carried by rollers at a constant speed. The rollers also change the direction of the flow of metal strand from vertical to horizontal. 3.) After the continuous casting has travelled a certain horizontal distance, a torch or saw that moves with the casting quickly cuts it to desired lengths. Continuous casting process can be integrated with ROLLING PROCESS, where the continuously cast metal can be fed directly into a rolling mill to produce I-Beams, T-Beams….etc. Continuous casting produces uniform properties throughout the product, it has a high solidification rate, reduces cost due to very low loss of material, offers a process where loading of metal, pouring, solidification, cutting and casting removal all take place in a continuous operation and thus resulting in high productivity rate and high quality. A major consideration is however the high initial investment, setup costs and space requirements. • MACHINING SERVICES : We offer three, four and five - axis machining. The type of machining processes we use are TURNING, MILLING, DRILLING, BORING, BROACHING, PLANING, SAWING, GRINDING, LAPPING, POLISHING and NON-TRADITIONAL MACHINING which is further elaborated under a different menu of our website. For most of our manufacturing, we use CNC machines. However for some operations conventional techniques are a better fit and therefore we rely on them as well. Our machining capabilities reach the highest level possible and some most demanding parts are manufactured at an AS9100 certified plant. Jet engine blades require highly specialized manufacturing experience and the right equipment. Aerospace industry has very strict standards. Some components with complex geometrical structures are most easily manufactured by five axis machining, which is found only in some machining plants including ours. Our aerospace certified plant has the necessary experience complying to extensive documentation requirement of the aerospace industry. In TURNING operations, a workpiece is rotated and moved against a cutting tool. For this process a machine called lathe is being used. In MILLING, a machine called milling machine has a rotating tool to bring cutting edges to bear against a workpiece. DRILLING operations involve a rotating cutter with cutting edges that produces holes upon contact with the workpiece. Drill presses, lathes or mills are generally used. In BORING operations a tool with a single bent pointed tip is moved into a rough hole in a spinning workpiece to slightly enlarge the hole and improve accuracy. It is used for fine finishing purposes. BROACHING involves a toothed tool to remove material from a workpiece in one pass of the broach (toothed tool). In linear broaching, the broach runs linearly against a surface of the workpiece to effect the cut, whereas in rotary broaching, the broach is rotated and pressed into the workpiece to cut an axis symmetric shape. SWISS TYPE MACHINING is one of our valuable techniques we use for high volume manufacturing of small high precision parts. Using Swiss-type lathe we turn small, complex, precision parts inexpensively. Unlike conventional lathes where the workpiece is kept stationary and tool moving, in Swiss-type turning centers, the workpiece is allowed to move in the Z-axis and the tool is stationary. In Swiss-type machining, the bar stock is held in the machine and advanced through a guide bushing in the z-axis, only exposing the portion to be machined. This way a tight grip is ensured and accuracy is very high. Availability of live tools provide the opportunity to mill and drill as the material advances from the guide bushing. The Y-axis of the Swiss-type equipment provides full milling capabilities and saves great amount of time in manufacturing. Furthermore, our machines have drills and boring tools that operate on the part when it is held in the sub spindle. Our Swiss-Type machining capability gives us a fully automated complete machining opportunity in a single operation. Machining is one of the largest segments of AGS-TECH Inc. business. We either use it as a primary operation or a secondary operation after casting or extruding a part so that all drawing specifications are met. • SURFACE FINISHING SERVICES : We offer a vast variety of surface treatments and surface finishing such as surface conditioning to enhance adhesion, depositing thin oxide layer to enhance adhesion of coating, sand blasting, chem-film, anodizing, nitriding, powder coating, spray coating, various advanced metallization and coating techniques including sputtering, electron beam, evaporation, plating, hard coatings such as diamond like carbon (DLC) or titanium coating for drilling and cutting tools. • PRODUCT MARKING & LABELING SERVICES : Many of our customers require marking and labeling, laser marking, engraving on metal parts. If you have any such need, let us discuss which option will be the best for you. Here are some of commonly used metal cast products. Since these are off-the-shelf, you can save on mould costs in case any of these fits your requirements: CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD our 11 Series Die-cast Aluminium Boxes from AGS-Electronics КЛИКНЕТЕ Услуга за пронаоѓање на производи-локатор ПРЕТХОДНА СТРАНИЦА

Mesomanufacturing - Mesoscale Manufacturing - Miniature Device Fabrication - Tiny Motors - AGS-TECH Inc. - New Mexico Мезоскала Производство / Мезопроизводство With conventional production techniques we produce “macroscale” structures that are relatively large and visible to the naked eye. With MESOMANUFACTURING however we produce components for miniature devices. Mesomanufacturing is also referred to as MESOSCALE MANUFACTURING or MESO-MACHINING. Mesomanufacturing overlaps both macro and micromanufacturing. Examples of mesomanufacturing are hearing aides, stents, very small motors. The first approach in mesomanufacturing is to scale macromanufacturing processes down. For example a tiny lathe with dimensions in the few dozen millimeters and a motor of 1.5W weighing 100 grams is a good example of mesomanufacturing where downscaling has taken place. The second approach is to scale micromanufacturing processes up. As an example LIGA processes can be upscaled and enter the realm of mesomanufacturing. Our mesomanufacturing processes are bridging the gap between silicon-based MEMS processes and conventional miniature machining. Mesoscale processes can fabricate two and three-dimensional parts having micron size features in traditional materials such as stainless steels, ceramics, and glass. Mesomanufacturing processes that are currently available to us include, focused ion beam (FIB) sputtering, micro-milling, micro-turning, excimer laser ablation, femto-second laser ablation, and micro electro-discharge (EDM) machining. These mesoscale processes employ subtractive machining technologies (i.e., material removal), whereas the LIGA process, is an additive mesoscale process. Mesomanufacturing processes have different capabilities and performance specifications. Machining performance specifications of interest include minimum feature size, feature tolerance, feature location accuracy, surface finish, and material removal rate (MRR). We have the capability of mesomanufacturing electro-mechanical components that require mesoscale parts. The mesoscale parts fabricated by subtractive mesomanufacturing processes have unique tribological properties because of the variety of materials and the surface conditions produced by the different mesomanufacturing processes. These subtractive mesoscale machining technologies bring us concerns related to cleanliness, assembly, and tribology. Cleanliness is vital in mesomanufacturing because mesoscale dirt and debris particle size created during the meso-machining process can be comparable to mesoscale features. Mesoscale milling and turning can create chips and burrs that can block holes. Surface morphology and surface finish conditions vary greatly depending on the mesomanufacturing method. Mesoscale parts are difficult to handle and align which makes assembly a challenge which most of our competitors are unable to overcome. Our yield rates in mesomanufacturing is far higher than our competitors which gives us the advantage of being able to offer better prices. MESOSCALE MACHINING PROCESSES: Our major mesomanufacturing techniques are Focused Ion Beam (FIB), Micro-milling, & Micro-turning, laser meso-machining, Micro-EDM (electro-discharge machining) Mesomanufacturing using focused Ion Beam (FIB), Micro-milling, & Micro-turning: The FIB sputters material from a workpiece by Gallium ion beam bombardment. The workpiece is mounted to a set of precision stages and is placed in a vacuum chamber underneath the source of Gallium. The translation and rotation stages in the vacuum chamber make various locations on the work piece available to the beam of Gallium ions for FIB mesomanufacturing. A tunable electric field scans the beam to cover a pre-defined projected area. A high voltage potential causes a source of Gallium ions to accelerate and collide with the work piece. The collisions strip away atoms from the work piece. The result of the FIB meso-machining process can be the creation of a near vertical facets. Some FIBs available to us have beam diameters as small as 5 nanometers, making the FIB a mesoscale and even microscale capable machine. We mount micro-milling tools on high precision milling machines to machine channels in aluminum. Using FIB we can fabricate micro-turning tools which can then be used on a lathe to fabricate finely threaded rods. In other words, FIB can be used to machine hard tooling besides directly meso-machining features onto the end work piece. The slow material removal rate has rendered the FIB as impractical for directly machining large features. The hard tools, however, can remove material at an impressive rate and are durable enough for several hours of machining time. Nevertheless, the FIB is practical for directly meso-machining complex three dimensional shapes that do not require a substantial material removal rate. Length of exposure and angle of incidence can greatly affect the geometry of directly machined features. Laser Mesomanufacturing: Excimer lasers are used for mesomanufacturing. The excimer laser machines material by pulsing it with nanosecond pulses of ultraviolet light. The work piece is mounted to precision translational stages. A controller coordinates the motion of the work piece relative to the stationary UV laser beam and coordinates the firing of the pulses. A mask projection technique can be used to define meso-machining geometries. The mask is inserted into the expanded part of the beam where the laser fluence is too low to ablate the mask. The mask geometry is de-magnified through the lens and projected onto the work piece. This approach can be used for machining multiple holes (arrays) simultaneously. Our excimer and YAG lasers can be used to machine polymers, ceramics, glass and metals having feature sizes as small as 12 microns. Good coupling between the UV wavelength (248 nm) and the workpiece in laser mesomanufacturing / meso-machining results in vertical channel walls. A cleaner laser meso-machining approach is to use a Ti-sapphire femtosecond laser. The detectable debris from such mesomanufacturing processes are nano-sized particles. Deep one micron-size features can be microfabricated using the femtosecond laser. The femtosecond laser ablation process is unique in that it breaks atomic bonds instead of thermally ablating material. The femtosecond laser meso-machining / micromachining process has a special place in mesomanufacturing because it is cleaner, micron capable, and it is not material specific. Mesomanufacturing using Micro-EDM (electro-discharge machining): Electro-discharge machining removes material through a spark erosion process. Our micro-EDM machines can produce features as small as 25 microns. For the sinker and the wire micro-EDM machine, the two major considerations for determining feature size are the electrode size and the over-bum gap. Electrodes little over 10 microns in diameter and over-bum as little as a few microns are being used. Creating an electrode having a complex geometry for the sinker EDM machine requires know-how. Both graphite and copper are popular as electrode materials. One approach to fabricating a complicated sinker EDM electrode for a mesoscale part is to use the LIGA process. Copper, as the electrode material, can be plated into LIGA molds. The copper LIGA electrode can then be mounted onto the sinker EDM machine for mesomanufacturing a part in a different material such as stainless steel or kovar. No one mesomanufacturing process is sufficient for all operations. Some mesoscale processes are more wide reaching than others, but each process has its niche. Most of the time we require a variety of materials to optimize performance of mechanical components and are comfortable with traditional materials such as stainless steel because these materials have a long history and have been very well characterized through the years. Mesomanufacturing processes allow us to use traditional materials. Subtractive mesoscale machining technologies expand our material base. Galling may be an-issue with some material combinations in mesomanufacturing. Each particular mesoscale machining process uniquely affects the surface roughness and morphology. Micro-milling and micro-turning may generate burrs and particles that can cause mechanical problems. Micro-EDM may leave a recast layer that can have particular wear and friction characteristics. Friction effects between mesoscale parts may have limited points of contact and are not accurately modeled by surface contact models. Some mesoscale machining technologies, such as micro-EDM, are fairly mature, as opposed to others, such as femtosecond laser meso-machining, which still require additional development.

Micromanufacturing, Nanomanufacturing, Mesomanufacturing - Electronic & Magnetic Optical & Coatings, Thin Film, Nanotubes, MEMS, Microscale Fabrication Производство на нано и микро и мезоскали Прочитај повеќе Our NANOMANUFACTURING, MICROMANUFACTURING and MESOMANUFACTURING processes can be categorized as: Surface Treatments and Modification Functional Coatings / Decorative Coatings / Thin Film / Thick Film Nanoscale Manufacturing / Nanomanufacturing Microscale Manufacturing / Micromanufacturing / Micromachining Mesoscale Manufacturing / Mesomanufacturing Microelectronics & Semiconductor Manufacturing and Fabrication Microfluidic Devices Manufacturing Micro-Optics Manufacturing Micro Assembly and Packaging Soft Lithography In every smart product designed today, one can consider an element that will increase efficiency, versatility, reduce power consumption, reduce waste, increase lifetime of the product and thus be environmentally friendly. For this purpose, AGS-TECH is focusing on a number of processes and products that can be incorporated into devices and equipment to achieve these goals. For example low-friction FUNCTIONAL COATINGS can reduce power consumption. Some other functional coating examples are scratch resistant coatings, anti-wetting SURFACE TREATMENTS and coatings (hydrophobic), wetness promoting (hydrophilic) surface treatment and coatings, anti-fungal coatings, diamond like carbon coatings for cutting and scribing tools, THIN FILMelectronic coatings, thin film magnetic coatings, multilayer optical coatings. In NANOMANUFACTURING or NANOSCALE MANUFACTURING, we produce parts at nanometer length scales. In practice it refers to manufacturing operations below micrometer scale. Nanomanufacturing is still in its infancy when compared to micromanufacturing, however the trend is in that direction and nanomanufacturing is definitely very important for the near future. Some applications of nanomanufacturing today are carbon nanotubes as reinforcing fibers for composite materials in bicycle frames, baseball bats and tennis racquets. Carbon nanotubes, depending on the orientation of the graphite in the nanotube, can act as semiconductors or conductors. Carbon nanotubes have very high current-carrying capability, 1000 times higher than silver or copper. Another application of nanomanufacturing is nanophase ceramics. By using nanoparticles in producing ceramic materials, we can simultaneously increase both the strength and ductility of the ceramic. Please click on the submenu for more information. MICROSCALE MANUFACTURING or MICROMANUFACTURING refers to our manufacturing and fabrication processes on a microscopic scale not visible to the naked eye. The terms micromanufacturing, microelectronics, microelectromechanical systems are not limited to such small length scales, but instead, suggest a material and manufacturing strategy. In our micromanufacturing operations some popular techniques we use are lithography, wet and dry etching, thin film coating. A wide variety of sensors & actuators, probes, magnetic hard-drive heads, microelectronic chips, MEMS devices such as accelerometers and pressure sensors among others are manufactured using such micromanufacturing methods. You will find more detailed information on these in the submenus. MESOSCALE MANUFACTURING or MESOMANUFACTURING refers to our processes for fabrication of miniature devices such as hearing aids, medical stents, medical valves, mechanical watches and extremely small motors. Mesoscale manufacturing overlaps both macro and micromanufacturing. Miniature lathes, with 1.5 Watt motor and dimensions of 32 x 25 x 30.5 mm and weights of 100 grams have been fabricated using mesoscale manufacturing methods. Using such lathes, brass has been machined to a diameter as small as 60 microns and surface roughnesses in the order of a micron or two. Other such miniature machine tools such as milling machines and presses have also been manufactured using mesomanufacturing. In MICROELECTRONICS MANUFACTURING we use the same techniques as in micromanufacturing. Our most popular substrates are silicon, and others like gallium arsenide, Indium Phosphide and Germanium are also used. Films/coatings of many types and especially conducting and insulating thin film coatings are used in the fabrication of microelectronic devices and circuits. These devices are usually obtained from multilayers. Insulating layers are generally obtained by oxidation such as SiO2. Dopants (both p and n) type are common and parts of the devices are doped in order to alter their electronic properties and obtain p and n type regions. Using lithography such as ultraviolet, deep or extreme ultraviolet photolithography, or X-ray, electron beam lithography we transfer geometric patterns defining the devices from a photomask/mask to the substrate surfaces. These lithography processes are applied several times in the micromanufacturing of microelectronic chips in order to achieve the required structures in the design. Also etching processes are carried out by which entire films or particular sections of films or substrate are removed. Briefly, by using various deposition, etching and multiple lithographic steps we obtain the multilayer structures on the supporting semiconductor substrates. After the wafers are processed and many circuits are microfabricated on them, the repetitive parts are cut and individual dies are obtained. Each die is thereafter wire bonded, packaged and tested and becomes a commercial microelectronic product. Some more details of microelectronics manufacturing can be found in our submenu, however the subject is very extensive and therefore we encourgae you to contact us in case you need product specific information or more details. Our MICROFLUIDICS MANUFACTURING operations are aimed at fabrication of devices and systems in which small volumes of fluids are handled. Examples of microfluidic devices are micro-propulsion devices, lab-on-a-chip systems, micro-thermal devices, inkjet printheads and more. In microfluidics we have to deal with the precise control and manipulation of fluids constrained to sub-milimeter regions. Fluids are moved, mixed, separated and processed. In microfluidic systems fluids are moved and controlled either actively using tiny micropumps and microvalves and the like or passively taking advantage of capillary forces. With lab-on-a-chip systems, processes which are normally carried out in a lab are miniaturized on a single chip in order to enhance efficiency and mobility as well as reduce sample and reagent volumes. We have the capability to design microfluidic devices for you and offer microfluidics prototyping & micromanufacturing custom tailored for your applications. Another promising field in microfabrication is MICRO-OPTICS MANUFACTURING. Micro-optics allows the manipulation of light and the management of photons with micron and sub-micron scale structures and components. Micro-optics allows us to interface the macroscopic world we live in with the microscopic world of opto- and nano-electronic data processing. Micro-optical components and subsystems find widespread applications in the following fields: Information technology: In micro-displays, micro-projectors, optical data storage, micro-cameras, scanners, printers, copiers…etc. Biomedicine: Minimally-invasive/point of care diagnostics, treatment monitoring, micro-imaging sensors, retinal implants. Lighting: Systems based on LEDs and other efficient light sources Safety and Security Systems: Infrared night vision systems for automotive applications, optical fingerprint sensors, retinal scanners. Optical Communication & Telecommunication: In photonic switches, passive fiber optic components, optical amplifiers, mainframe and personal computer interconnect systems Smart structures: In optical fiber-based sensing systems and much more As the most diverse engineering integration provider we pride ourselves with our capability to provide a solution for almost any consulting, engineering, reverse engineering, rapid prototyping, product development, manufacturing, fabrication and assembly needs. After micromanufacturing our components, very often we need to continue with MICRO ASSEMBLY & PACKAGING. This involves processes such as die attachment, wire bonding, connectorization, hermetic sealing of packages, probing, testing of packaged products for environmental reliability…etc. After micromanufacturing devices on a die, we attach the die to a more rugged foundation to ensure reliability. Frequently we use special epoxy cements or eutectic alloys to bond the die to its package. After the chip or die is bonded to its substrate, we connect it electrically to the package leads using wire bonding. One method is to use very thin gold wires from the package leads to bonding pads located around the perimeter of the die. Lastly we need to do the final packaging of the connected circuit. Depending on the application and operating environment, a variety of standard and custom manufactured packages are available for micromanufactured electronic, electro-optic, and microelectromechanical devices. Another micromanufacturing technique we use is SOFT LITHOGRAPHY, a term used for a number of processes for pattern transfer. A master mold is needed in all cases and is microfabricated using standard lithography methods. Using the master mold, we produce an elastomeric pattern / stamp. One variation of soft lithography is “microcontact printing”. The elastomer stamp is coated with an ink and pressed against a surface. The pattern peaks contact the surface and a thin layer of about 1 monolayer of the ink is transfered. This thin film monolayer acts as the mask for selective wet etching. A second variation is “microtransfer molding”, in which the recesses of the elastomer mold are filled with liquid polymer precursor and pushed against a surface. Once the polymer cures, we peel off the mold, leaving behind the desired pattern. Lastly a third variation is “micromolding in capillaries”, where the elastomer stamp pattern consists of channels that use capillary forces to wick a liquid polymer into the stamp from its side. Basically, a small amount of the liquid polymer is placed adjacent to the capillary channels and the capillary forces pull the liquid into the channels. Excess liquid polymer is removed and polymer inside the channels is allowed to cure. The stamp mold is peeled off and the product is ready. You can find more details about our soft lithography micromanufacturing techniques by clicking on the related submenu on the side of this page.

Ultrasonic Machining, Ultrasonic Impact Grinding, Rotary Ultrasonic Machining, Non-Conventional Machining, Custom Manufacturing - AGS-TECH Inc. New Mexico, USA Ултразвучна обработка и ротациона ултразвучна обработка и мелење со ултразвучно влијание Another popular NON-CONVENTIONAL MACHINING technique we frequently use is ULTRASONIC MACHINING (UM), also widely known as ULTRASONIC IMPACT GRINDING, where material is removed from a workpiece surface by microchipping and erosion with abrasive particles using a vibrating tool oscillating at ultrasonic frequencies, aided by an abrasive slurry that flows freely between the workpiece and the tool. It differs from most other conventional machining operations because very little heat is produced. The tip of the ultrasonic machining tool is called a “sonotrode” which vibrates at amplitudes of 0.05 to 0.125 mm and frequencies around 20 kHz. The vibrations of the tip transmit high velocities to fine abrasive grains between the tool and the surface of the workpiece. The tool never contacts the workpiece and therefore the grinding pressure is rarely more than 2 pounds. This working principle makes this operation perfect for machining extremely hard and brittle materials, such as glass, sapphire, ruby, diamond, and ceramics. The abrasive grains are located within a water slurry with a concentration between 20 to 60% by volume. The slurry also acts as the carrier of the debris away from the cutting / machining region. We use as abrasive grains mostly boron carbide, aluminum oxide and silicon carbide with grain sizes ranging from 100 for roughing processes to 1000 for our finishing processes. The ultrasonic-machining (UM) technique is best suited for hard and brittle materials like ceramics and glass, carbides, precious stones, hardened steels. The surface finish of ultrasonic machining depends upon the hardness of the workpiece/tool and the average diameter of the abrasive grains used. The tool tip is generally a low-carbon steel, nickel and soft steels attached to a transducer through the toolholder. The ultrasonic-machining process utilizes the plastic deformation of metal for the tool and the brittleness of the workpiece. The tool vibrates and pushes down on the abrasive slurry containing grains until the grains impact the brittle workpiece. During this operation, the workpiece is broken down while the tool bends very slightly. Using fine abrasives, we can achieve dimensional tolerances of 0.0125 mm and even better with ultrasonic-machining (UM). Machining time depends upon the frequency at which the tool is vibrating, the grain size and hardness, and the viscosity of the slurry fluid. The less viscous the slurry fluid, the faster it can carry away used abrasive. Grain size must be equal or greater than the hardness of the workpiece. As an example we can machine multiple aligned holes 0.4 mm in diameter on a 1.2 mm wide glass strip with ultrasonic machining. Let us get a little bit into the physics of the ultrasonic machining process. Microchipping in ultrasonic machining is possible thanks to the high stresses produced by particles striking the solid surface. Contact times between particles and surfaces are very short and in the order of 10 to 100 microseconds. The contact time can be expressed as: to = 5r/Co x (Co/v) exp 1/5 Here r is the radius of the spherical particle, Co is the elastic wave velocity in the workpiece (Co = sqroot E/d) and v is the velocity that the particle hits the surface with. The force a particle exerts on the surface is obtained from the rate of change of momentum: F = d(mv)/dt Here m is the grain mass. The average force of the particles (grains) hitting and rebounding from the surface is: Favg = 2mv / to Here to is the contact time. When numbers are plugged into this expression, we see that even though the parts are very small, since the contact area is also very small, the forces and thus the stresses exerted are significantly high to cause microchipping and erosion. ROTARY ULTRASONIC MACHINING (RUM): This method is a variation of ultrasonic machining, where we replace the abrasive slurry with a tool that has metal-bonded diamond abrasives that have been either impregnated or electroplated on the tool surface. The tool is rotated and ultrasonically vibrated. We press the workpiece at constant pressure against the rotating and vibrating tool. The rotary ultrasonic machining process gives us capabilities such as producing deep holes in hard materials at high material removal rates. Since we deploy a number of conventional and non-conventional manufacturing techniques, we can be of help to you whenever you have questions about a particular product and the fastest and most economical way of manufacturing & fabricating it.

Here we will concentrate on more generic and universal micro assembly & packaging techniques we use for all kinds of products including mechanical, optical, microelectronic, optoelectronic and hybrid systems consisting of a combination of these. The techniques we discuss here are more versatile and can be considered to be used in more unusual and nonstandard applications. In other words the micro assembly & packaging techniques discussed here are our tools that help us to think “out of the box”. Here are some of our extraordinary micro assembly & packaging methods: - Manual micro assembly & packaging - Automated micro assembly & packaging - Self assembly methods such as fluidic self-assembly - Stochastic micro assembly using vibration, gravitational or electrostatic forces or else. - Use of micromechanical fasteners - Adhesive micromechanical fastening Let us explore some of our versatile extraordinary microassembly & packaging techniques in more detail. MANUAL MICRO ASSEMBLY & PACKAGING: Manual operations can be cost prohibitive and require a level of precision that can be impractical for an operator due to the strain it causes in the eyes and dexterity limitations associated with assembling such miniature parts under a microscope. However, for low volume special applications manual micro assembly may be the best option because it does not necessarily require the design and construction of automated micro assembly systems. AUTOMATED MICRO ASSEMBLY & PACKAGING: Our micro assembly systems are designed to make assembly easier and more cost effective, enabling the development of new applications for micro machine technologies. We can micro-assemble devices and components in the microns level dimensions using robotic systems. Here are some of our automated micro assembly & packaging equipment and capabilities: • Top notch motion control equipment including a robotic workcell with nanometric position resolution • Fully automated CAD-driven workcells for micro assembly • Fourier optics methods to generate synthetic microscope images from CAD drawings to test image processing routines under varying magnifications and depths of field (DOF) • Custom designing and production capability of micro tweezers, manipulators and actuators for precision micro assembly and packaging • Laser interferometers • Strain gages for force feedback • Real-time computer vision to control servo mechanisms and motors for the micro-alignment and micro-assembly of parts with sub-micron tolerances • Scanning Electron Microscopes (SEM) and Transmission Electron Microscopes (TEM) • 12 degrees of freedom nano manipulator Our automated micro assembly process can place multiple gears or other components on multiple posts or locations in a single step. Our micromanipulation capabilities are enormous. We are here to help you with non-standard extraordinary ideas. MICRO & NANO SELF ASSEMBLY METHODS: In self-assembly processes a disordered system of pre-existing components forms an organized structure or pattern as a consequence of specific, local interactions among the components, without external direction. The self-assembling components experience only local interactions and typically obey a simple set of rules that govern how they combine. Even though this phenomenon is scale-independent and can be utilized for self-constructing and manufacturing systems at nearly every scale, our focus is on micro self assembly and nano self assembly. For building microscopic devices, one of the most promising ideas is to exploit the process of self-assembly. Complex structures can be created by combining building blocks under natural circumstances. To give an example, a method is established for micro assembly of multiple batches of micro components onto a single substrate. The substrate is prepared with hydrophobic coated gold binding sites. To perform micro assembly, a hydrocarbon oil is applied to the substrate and wets exclusively the hydrophobic binding sites in water. Micro components are then added to the water, and assembled on the oil-wetted binding sites. Even more, micro assembly can be controlled to take place on desired binding sites by using an electrochemical method to deactivate specific substrate binding sites. By repeatedly applying this technique, different batches of micro components can be sequentially assembled to a single substrate. After the micro assembly procedure, electroplating takes place to establish electrical connections for micro assembled components. STOCHASTIC MICRO ASSEMBLY: In parallel micro assembly, where parts are assembled simultaneously, there is deterministic and stochastic micro assembly. In the deterministic micro assembly, the relationship between the part and its destination on the substrate is known in advance. In the stochastic micro assembly on the other hand, this relationship is unknown or random. Parts do self-assemble in stochastic processes driven by some motive force. In order for the micro self-assembly to take place, there need to be bonding forces, the bonding needs to occur selectively, and micro assembling parts need to be able to move so they can get together. Stochastic micro assembly is many times accompanied by vibrations, electrostatic, microfluidic or other forces that act on the components. Stochastic micro assembly is especially useful when the building blocks are smaller, because the handling of the individual components becomes more of a challenge. Stochastic self-assembly can be observed in nature as well. MICROMECHANICAL FASTENERS: At the micro scale, conventional types of fasteners like screws and hinges will not easily work due to present fabrication constraints and large friction forces. Micro snap fasteners on the other hand work more easily in micro assembly applications. Micro snap fasteners are deformable devices consisting of pairs of mating surfaces that snap together during micro assembly. Because of the simple and linear assembly motion, snap fasteners have a wide range of applications in micro assembly operations, such as devices with multiple or layered components, or micro opto-mechanical plugs, sensors with memory. Other micro assembly fasteners are “key-lock” joints and “inter-lock” joints. Key-lock joints consist of the insertion of a “key” on one micro-part, into a mating slot on another micro-part. Locking into position is achieved by translating the first micro-part within the other. Inter-lock joints are created by the perpendicular insertion of one micro-part with a slit, into another micro-part with a slit. The slits create an interference fit and are permanent once the micro-parts are joined. ADHESIVE MICROMECHANICAL FASTENING: Adhesive mechanical fastening is used to construct 3D micro devices. The fastening process includes self-alignment mechanisms and adhesive bonding. Self-alignment mechanisms are deployed in adhesive micro assembly to increase the positioning accuracy. A micro probe bonded to a robotic micromanipulator picks up and accurately deposits adhesive to target locations. Curing light hardens the adhesive. The cured adhesive keeps the micro assembled parts into their positions and provides strong mechanical joints. Using conductive adhesive, a reliable electrical connection can be obtained. The adhesive mechanical fastening only requires simple operations, and can result in reliable connections and high positioning accuracies, which are important in automatic microassembly. To demonstrate the feasibility of this method, many three-dimensional MEMS devices have been micro assembled, including a 3D rotary optical switch.

Here you will find some of these testing equipment such as concrete testers and surface roughness tester. Let us examine these test devices in some detail: SCHMIDT HAMMER / CONCRETE TESTER : This test instrument, also sometimes called a SWISS HAMMER or a REBOUND HAMMER, is a device to measure the elastic properties or strength of concrete or rock, mainly surface hardness and penetration resistance. The hammer measures the rebound of a spring-loaded mass impacting against the surface of the sample. The test hammer will hit the concrete with a predetermined energy. The hammer’s rebound depends on the hardness of the concrete and is measured by the test equipment. Taking a conversion chart as a reference, the rebound value can be used to determine the compressive strength. The Schmidt hammer is an arbitrary scale ranging from 10 to 100. Schmidt hammers come with several different energy ranges. Their energy ranges are: (i) Type L-0.735 Nm impact energy, (ii) Type N-2.207 Nm impact energy; and (iii) Type M-29.43 Nm impact energy. Local variation in the sample. To minimize local variation in the samples it is recommended to take a selection of readings and take their average value. Prior to testing, the Schmidt hammer needs to be calibrated using a calibration test anvil supplied by the manufacturer. 12 readings should be taken, dropping the highest and lowest, and then taking the average of the ten remaining readings. This method is considered an indirect measurement of the strength of the material. It provides an indication based on surface properties for comparison between samples. This test method for testing concrete is governed by ASTM C805. On the other hand, the ASTM D5873 standard describes the procedure for testing of rock. Inside of our SADT brand catalog you will find the following products: DIGITAL CONCRETE TEST HAMMER SADT Models HT-225D/HT-75D/HT-20D - The SADT Model HT-225D is an integrated digital concrete test hammer combining data processor and test hammer into a single unit. It is widely used for non destructive quality testing of concrete and building materials. From its rebound value, the compressive strength of concrete can be calculated out automatically. All test data can be stored in memory and transferred to PC by USB cable or wirelessly by Bluetooth. The models HT-225D and HT-75D have measuring range of 10 – 70N/mm2, whereas the model HT-20D has only 1 – 25N/mm2. The impact energy of HT-225D is 0.225 Kgm and is suitable for testing ordinary building and bridge construction, the impact energy of HT-75D is 0.075 Kgm and is suitable for testing small and impact-sensitive parts of concrete and artificial brick, and finally the impact energy of HT-20D is 0.020Kgm and suitable for testing mortar or clay products. IMPACT TESTERS: In many manufacturing operations and during their service lives, many components need to be subjected to impact loading. In the impact test, the notched specimen is placed in an impact tester and broken with a swinging pendulum. There are two major types of this test: The CHARPY TEST and the IZOD TEST. For the Charpy test the specimen are supported at both ends, whereas for the Izod test they are supported only at one end like a cantilever beam. From the amount of swing of the pendulum, the energy dissipated in breaking the specimen is obtained, this energy is the impact toughness of the material. Using the impact tests, we can determine the ductile-brittle transition temperatures of materials. Materials with high impact resistance generally have high strength and ductility. These tests also reveal the sensitivity of a material’s impact toughness to surface defects, because the notch in the specimen can be considered a surface defect. TENSION TESTER : The strength-deformation characteristics of materials are determined using this test. Test specimen are prepared according to ASTM standards. Typically, solid and round specimens are tested, but flat sheets and tubular samples may also be tested using tension test. The original length of a specimen is the distance between gage marks on it and is typically 50 mm long. It is denoted as lo. Longer or shorter lengths can be used depending on the specimens and products. The original cross-sectional area is denoted as Ao. The engineering stress or also called nominal stress is then given as: Sigma = P / Ao And the engineering strain is given as: e = (l – lo) / lo In the linear elastic region, the specimen elongates proportionately to the load up to the proportional limit. Beyond this limit, even though not linearly, the specimen will continue to deform elastically up to the yield point Y. In this elastic region, the material will return to its original length if we remove the load. Hooke’s Law applies in this region and gives us the Young’s Modulus: E = Sigma / e If we increase the load and move beyond the yield point Y, the material begins to yield. In other words, the specimen begins to undergo plastic deformation. Plastic deformation means permanent deformation. The cross-sectional area of the specimen decreases permanently and uniformly. If specimen is unloaded at this point, the curve follows a straight line downward and parallel to the original line in the elastic region. If the load is further increased, the curve reaches a maximum and begins to decrease. The maximum stress point is called the tensile strength or ultimate tensile strength and is denoted as UTS. The UTS can be interpreted as the overall strength of materials. When load is greater than the UTS, necking occurs on the specimen and the elongation between gage marks is no longer uniform. In other words, the specimen becomes really thin at the location where necking occurs. During necking, the elastic stress drops. If the test is continued, the engineering stress drops further and the specimen fractures at the necking region. The stress level at fracture is the fracture stress. The strain at point of fracture is an indicator of ductility. The strain up to the UTS is referred to as uniform strain, and the elongation at fracture is referred to as total elongation. Elongation = ((lf – lo) / lo) x 100 Reduction of Area = ((Ao – Af) / Ao) x 100 Elongation and reduction of area are good indicators of ductility. COMPRESSION TESTING MACHINE ( COMPRESSION TESTER ) : In this test, the specimen is subjected to a compressive load contrary to the tensile test where the load is tensile. Generally, a solid cylindrical specimen is placed between two flat plates and compressed. Using lubricants at the contact surfaces, a phenomenon known as barreling is prevented. Engineering strain rate in compression is given by: de / dt = - v / ho, where v is die speed, ho original specimen height. True strain rate on the other hand is: de = dt = - v/ h, with h being the instantaneous specimen height. To keep the true strain rate constant during the test, a cam plastometer thru a cam action reduces the magnitude of v proportionally as the specimen height h decreases during the test. Using the compression test ductilities of materials are determined by observing cracks formed on barreled cylindrical surfaces. Another test with some differences in the die and workpiece geometries is the PLANE-STRAIN COMPRESSION TEST, which gives us the yield stress of the material in plane strain denoted widely as Y’. Yield stress of materials in plane strain can be estimated as: Y’ = 1.15 Y TORSION TEST MACHINES (TORSIONAL TESTERS) : The TORSION TEST is another widely used method for determining material properties. A tubular specimen with a reduced mid-section is used in this test. Shear stress, T is given by: T = T / 2 (Pi) (square of r) t Here, T is the applied torque, r is the mean radius and t is the thickness of the reduced section in the middle of the tube. Shear strain on the other hand is given by: ß = r Ø / l Here l is the length of the reduced section and Ø is the twist angle in radians. Within the elastic range, the shear modulus (modulus of rigidity) is expressed as: G = T / ß The relation between shear modulus and the modulus of elasticity is: G = E / 2( 1 + V ) The torsion test is applied to solid round bars at elevated temperatures to estimate the forgeability of metals. The more twists the material can withstand prior to failure, the more forgeable it is. THREE & FOUR POINT BENDING TESTERS : For brittle materials, the BEND TEST (also called FLEXURE TEST) is suitable. A rectangularly shaped specimen is supported at both ends and a load is applied vertically. The vertical force is applied at either one point as in the case of three point bending tester, or at two points as in the case of a four point test machine. The stress at fracture in bending is referred to as the modulus of rupture or transverse rupture strength. It is given as: Sigma = M c / I Here, M is the bending moment, c is one-half of the specimen depth and I is the moment of inertia of the cross-section. The magnitude of stress is the same in both three and four-point bending when all other parameters are kept constant. The four-point test is likely to result in a lower modulus of rupture as compared to the three-point test. Another superiority of the four-point bending test over the three point bending test is that its results are more consistent with less statistical scattering of values. FATIGUE TEST MACHINE: In FATIGUE TESTING, a specimen is subjected repeatedly to various states of stress. The stresses are generally a combination of tension, compression and torsion. The test process can be resembled to bending a piece of wire alternately in one direction, then the other until it fractures. The stress amplitude can be varied and is denoted as “S”. The number of cycles to cause total failure of the specimen is recorded and is denoted as “N”. Stress amplitude is the maximum stress value in tension and compression to which the specimen is subjected. One variation of the fatigue test is performed on a rotating shaft with a constant downward load. The endurance limit (fatigue limit) is defined as the max. stress value the material can withstand without fatigue failure regardless of the number of cycles. Fatigue strength of metals is related to their ultimate tensile strength UTS. COEFFICIENT OF FRICTION TESTER : This test equipment measures the ease with which two surfaces in contact are able to slide past one another. There are two different values associated with the coefficient of friction, namely the static and kinetic coefficient of friction. Static friction applies to the force necessary to initialize motion between the two surfaces and kinetic friction is the resistance to sliding once the surfaces are in relative motion. Appropriate measures need to be taken prior to testing and during testing to ensure freedom from dirt, grease and other contaminants that could adversely affect test results. ASTM D1894 is the main coefficient of friction test standard and is used by many industries with different applications and products. We are here to offer you the most suitable test equipment. If you need a custom set-up specifically designed for your application, we can modify existing equipment accordingly in order to meet your requirements and needs.
