Tensile Test of Steel Bars

This document discusses various tests performed on steel bars, including tensile, compression, bending, hardness, impact, and torsion tests. The tensile test measures properties like elasticity, tensile strength, and yield strength by pulling on a steel bar until failure. The compression test determines the highest compressive stress a material can withstand before cracking. Bending, impact, and torsion tests evaluate how steel bars respond to different forces and stresses. Hardness tests like Brinell and Rockwell measures a material's resistance to indentation. These tests are important to evaluate steel bars for different applications and ensure adequate strength and durability.

Tensile test of steel bars

Material testing of a steel bar is crucial, it is similarly put under testing to recognize its various specific
uses. It involves estimation of attributes and behavior of substances like metals, plastics and ceramics
under varying conditions. Steel bar reinforcement is important to inspect and test periodically to decide
its adequacy. The tests on steel bars must include

• Tensile test
• Compression test
• Bending test
• Brinell hardness test
• Rockwell hardness test
• Impact test
• Torsion test

TENSILE TEST
This tensile test process is one of the important tests of the steel bars. A tension test of steel materials is
a damaging procedure that gives data about the elasticity, tensile strength and yield strength of the
sample. This tensile test is done to decide how the material responds when you apply a force to it.
Generally, by pulling the metal, one has to recognize the material's rigidity, yield quality just as the
amount it will extend.  Tension test is the basic criteria where one present a steel bar test to tension
which is under control until failure stage.

 COMPRESSION TEST
The compressive quality is the most extreme compressive stress a material is equipped for withstanding
without crack. Brittle materials crack during testing and have a definite compressive strength value. The
compressive strength of flexible materials is dictated by their level of bending during testing.
Compressive quality test, mechanical test estimating the greatest measure of compressive burden a
material can tolerate before breaking. 

BENDING TEST
Bend testing a material takes into consideration that materials resistance to fracture, ductility, fracture
strength and bend strength. These qualities can be utilized to decide if a material will fail under pressure
and are important in any construction procedure including ductile materials loaded with bending forces.
If a material starts to break or totally cracks during a bend test it is valid to accept that the material will
fail under a similar in any application, which may prompt to catastrophic failure.

BRINELL HARDNESS TEST


The Brinell test was the first broadly utilized standardized steel hardness test. It requires a huge test
piece and leaves a huge space; hence, it is constrained in its usefulness. Actually, brinelling has come to
mean the permanent indentation of any hard surface. These Brinell hardness test involves a large, heavy
ball, which is pushed against steel at a predetermined level of force. 

ROCKWELL HARDNESS TEST


The Rockwell test is commonly simpler to perform, and more exact than different kinds of hardness
testing techniques. The Rockwell steel test strategy is utilized on all kinds of metals, with the exception
of in conditions where the test metal structure or surface conditions would present an excessive amount
of varieties; where the indentations would be unreasonably enormous for the application; or where the
sample size or test shape forbids to use.  

IMPACT TEST
Impact test decides the amount of energy consumed by a material during crack. This absorbed energy is
a measure of a given material's strength and goes about as a device to consider temperature-dependent
weak flexible progress. It is to decide if the material is fragile or malleable in nature. Impact Testing of
metals is performed to decide the effect opposition or durability of materials by figuring the measure of
energy absorbed during fracture. The impact test is performed at different temperatures to reveal any
consequences on impact energy. These services give test results that can be helpful in evaluating the
suitability of a material for a specific application and in predicting its expected service life.

TORSION TEST
The reason for a torsion test is to decide the behavior a material or test shows when turned or under
torsional forces because of applied moments that cause shear stress about the axis. Measurable values
include: the modulus of ductility, ultimate shear strength, elasticity in shear modulus of rupture in shear,
yield shear strength and torsional fatigue life. These values are similar but not the same as those
measured by a tensile test and are significant in assembling as they might be utilized to simulate the
service conditions, check the item's quality and structure, and guarantee that it was made effectively. 
The steel hardness tests do measure hardness in index but in units. Since all of the steel hardness tests
are so normal, the list is given as a number followed to indicate the test method.
