    Tr = Tmax = G Ѳ J R L: Experiment of Torsion testing machine

    Uploaded by

    Ayugu
    This document summarizes an experiment on determining the mechanical properties of steel under different heat treatments using a torsion testing machine. The objectives are to determine the shear stress-strain behavior, failure patterns under torsion, and mechanical properties with heat treatment. The procedure involves cutting and heat treating steel specimens, then testing them in a torsion testing machine to record torque and shear stress at increasing angles of twist until failure. The data shows torque and shear stress increase proportionally. The maximum twist angle for normalized steel is 2640 degrees with 92.36 N-m torque and 20 KN/m^2 shear stress. The conclusion is that torque is directly proportional to stress-strain.

    then quench it in oil and wait for 30 minutes
    B. For annealing
    c. Heat the CRS inside the heat treatment and set the temperature, wait
    until the temperature reaches 800 degress Celsius

    temperature slow down
    C. For normalizing
    e. Heat the CRS inside the heat treatment and set the temperature, wait
    until the temperature reaches 800 degress Celsius

    D. For tempering
    g. The specimen is also heated at 800 degrees celcius
    h. Then, upon reaching the 800 degree celcius the metal was then
    subjected to tempering(Steel is brought to specific hardness by
    reheating to a given temperature after quenching)

    3. After heat treatment procedure, the specimen is subjected to Universal Torsion


    Machine

    Procedure in using Torsion Testing Machine


    a. Put the specimen at the chuck. Put a colored chalk /or pentel pen to the
    specimen being tested.
    b. Set the protractor to zero degree
    c. Lock the sliding plate using wrench. The size of the wrench is 17 mm.
    d. Set the weighing sale to zero. Make sure that the bubble of the level gauge is at
    the center
    e. Turn the wheel of the gearbox slowly while keeping the level gauge at its
    position
    f. Record the angle of twist shown by the protractor and the weight produced
    every set angle (i.e. every 60 degree)
    g. Continue turning and recording until the specimen breaks

    Interpretation of data:

    The data shows that Torque applied is directly proportional to Shear Stress.
    The maximum angle of twist a Steel in Normalizing can handle is upto 2640 degrees
    which produces a torque of 92.36N-m and a shear stress of 20 KN/m^2

    Conclusion:

    this experiment concludes that Torque is directly proportional to Stress-Strain.
