HARDNESS, as recent correspondence in NATURE (vol. cvi., pp. 377, 440, 534, 599, 662, November, 192o–January, 1921) has shown, is a subject of interest to both the engineer and the physicist. Whatever ...

Heat treatment is an essential technique for influencing workpiece characteristics. Several industries focus on reliable part design to avoid breaking parts, e.g. by decreasing material weight and ...

It’s now possible to more easily check the hardness of tiny elastomer part, thanks to a novel testing instrument with supersmall motor-driven probes. Ordinary Shore A hardness testers use a conically ...

Compared to classic testing applications, hardness testing in powder metallurgy needs completely different procedures and parameters. Samples must be prepared well to permit the hardness test and ...

A gellike 30 Shore 00 Versaflex TPE is engineered to serve as ultrasoft cushions in bicycle seats, shoes, and furniture as well as nontacky grips on personal care products and sports equipment.
