DESCRIPTION OF LAB APPARATUS

1. EDM Die Sinking Machine (EDM-M50)
EDM is basically used to make desired shape by electrical discharges.
Material is removed from the work piece by series of recurring current
discharges between two electrodes separated by a dielectric liquid and
subjected to an electric voltage. One electrode is called tool electrode and
other is called work piece electrode. It can work in three axis. Applications
are: Die making, small hole drilling, metal disintegration machining etc.

Rotating and Bending Fatigue

Testing Machine (PQ-6)
It is also known as 4 point bending machine
because load is applied on four points; two from
upward and 2 from downward. It is used to
determine the fatigue life of a specimen which
depends upon load and current. Motor rpm is
constant.
(rpm)*(time) = fatigue life of materials

3. Universal Material Test System (810-MTS)

A universal testing machine (UTM), also known as a universal tester, materials testing machine
or materials test frame, is used to test the tensile strength and compressive strength of materials.
It is named after the fact that it can perform many standard tensile and compression tests on
materials, components, and structures. Stress, strain, force, cyclic load etc is applied through
software. Hydraulic unit produces the pressure along with chiller to cool down the compressed
liquid. Max pressure is 100 KN.

4. EDM

Wire

Cut

Machine
It is used in cutting process where accuracy is required but process is slow. It works in two axis x
and y. molybdenum wire is used to cut materials of diameter 0.13 mm. water is used as cooling
medium because filter is not there otherwise oil, soluble solutions can be used. Preferable for
hard and complex shapes. Programmable unit is alongside to program each step and movement
of process.

7. Buffering Machine
Polishing and buffering are finishing processes for smoothing a work
pieces surface using an abrasive and a work wheel. It is used for the
finishing of the surfaces of meals and specimen. It consist of a rotating
shaft attached with the motor. Buffering material disc type is attached
at end of rotating shaft.

8. Furnace with overhanging Crane

A furnace is a device used for high temperature heating. The name derives from Greek word
fornix, which means oven. Materials are heated up to 1500-2000 oC. Overhead crane is used to
lift the heated specimen out of the furnace.

9. Impact Testing Machine (JBW-300)

It is mainly used to determine the anti-impact capability of
ferrous metal materials with high toughness, especially for
steel and iron and their alloy, under dynamic load. This
tester is operated fully automatic; all test operation like
pendulum rising, sample feeding, positioning, impact,
pendulum rising again etc. are automatically. Be applicable
for continuing testing in different kinds of laboratories and
other metallurgy industrial manufactories for large batch
impact test work.

10. Hydraulic Press

A hydraulic press is a machine that has a bed or a plate in which the
metallic material is placed so that it can be crushed, straightened or
molded. Hydraulic press is a machine that makes use of the pressure
exerted on the fluids to crush something. Joseph Bramah invented
the hydraulic press, hence it is also known as the Bramah Press.

11. Abrasion Machine (Project)

Abrasion is the process of scuffing, scratching, wearing down, marring,

or rubbing away. It can be intentionally imposed in a controlled process
using an abrasive. Abrasion can be an undesirable effect of exposure to
normal use or exposure to the elements. This machine has been
developed for determining the resistance to abrasion/wear of natural
stones and concrete products.

12. Mechanical Vibration Apparatus (TM-150, gunt HAMBURG)

The trainer covers a wide range of topics in mechanical vibration
technology. It is mounted on a sturdy, low-vibration frame which is installed
on a laboratory trolley with braked wheels. Quick fastening elements for the
formed grooves for quick and accurate experimental set-up. Forced vibration
is generated with an electrical motor-driven imbalance exciter.

13.Creep Measurement Apparatus (SM-106)

Deformation under constant stress at elevated temperature is called creep.
The SM106 Creep Measurement Apparatus is a simple unit designed for
demonstrating and investigating the creep characteristics of different
specimens at room temperature. A creep test is carried out by applying a
constant load to a specimen and observing the increase in strain (or
extension) with time.

14. Polariscope
Polariscope is used for the stress analysis in specimens. Stress
distribution is analyzed through this and
cracks or deflection is determined.

The BX51 is the standard upright metallurgical microscope model that provides reflected and
transmitted light illumination. It is equipped with diversity motorized modules including
automatic focus and a motorized illumination and nosepiece. The operations can be fully
software-controlled through PC or other devices.
