Using sclerometry for the determination of the mechanical properties of local zones of welded joints

Abstract

Methods and automated equipment for testing materials by scratching with a sharp tip indentor, penetrating into the given depth, are developed. The efficiency of using the method and equipment for determining the distribution of the mechanical properties of the metal in the local zones of the welded joint is shown.

Keywords:

• welded joints
• scratching test
