Observing Material Strength at High Temperatures on the UMT

Enhanced efficiency of engines and gas turbines can be ensured with operation at higher temperatures. Materials that maintain their strength at high-temperatures are required for certain applications, in addition to corrosion resistance and/or wear-resistance. These applications include steam turbines, hot working of metals, petrochemical processing, and catalytic processing to eliminate harmful greenhouse gases. Therefore, it is vital to compare materials under high-temperature working conditions.

Why Hot Hardness?

The answer to this question is simple: a hardness test can be easily carried out in a fast and economical manner. Despite the fact that tensile testing is the conventional method used to assess strengths of materials at higher temperatures, these tests require specially designed equipment and specialized samples. On the contrary, carrying out a hardness test enables strength-based comparisons of materials using simplified sample shapes such as rods or flats.
