Check out the August 2023 edition of Quality! Read about tensile testing and what makes the application unique, take a look at how air gaging is moving into today's modern manufacturing processes, and much more!
Tensile testing is varied in purpose and industry specific. The manner of holding the test specimen and applying the axis of tensile force is what makes the application unique and enables quality assurance at almost any point in any product's lifecycle.
Two basic types of tensile test are broadly relevant; is the test specimen strong enough to resist breakage, or is it easy to use safely and efficiently?
“Quality of ONE” is a vision to achieve excellence that focuses on a vital human aspect. It requires growing a culture within teams to transform the perception of quality from an activity to ownership.
Whether you are an OEM testing an airframe or a third tier supplier testing high strength alloys, it is crucial to use a reliable tensile testing system that can produce repeatable results.
How new optical sensors work and how they might be used to address critical needs for part qualification and process control in precision manufacturing applications.
Advancements in technology are making SPC software more user-friendly and accessible. New features such as machine learning and predictive analytics are being added to SPC software, making it even more indispensable to an organization.
Why is certification of an organization’s quality management system to ISO 9001 – or AS9100, or IATF 16949 or ISO 13485 – so special? What does the certification signify? And what supports the paper behind that framed certificate?
When air gaging was introduced, it provided the first high-performance 50u”/1um or better gaging on the shop floor. In fact, air gaging provided two breakthroughs for dimensional measurement.
All members have the opportunity to join all 27 divisions if they choose to, without additional cost. But ask yourself: can one really be an engaged member of 27 divisions?
Additive manufacturing (AM) technologies present an array of benefits including lightweight structures (lattices, triply periodic minimal surfaces, and other organic shapes), consolidation of parts, limiting necessity for tooling, and lead time reduction.
Flaws can come in many different shapes, orientations, and sizes. They can be minor material differences, surface imperfections, or anything that is not supposed to be on or in a component.
The Level III (SNT-TC-1A) / Level 3 (NAS 410) population of inspectors is graying and looking forward to retirement. A problem for the foreseeable future is a current shortage of qualified Level IIIs in all NDT methods.
