Tensile test sample

Procedure:

First of all we performed turning on

the specimen to reduce it to the size
(7.8 mm in
diameter) we needed for this
experiment.
2. Then we used sand paper to
make its surface smooth so it can
perform more efficiently
during the experiment

 Firstly, we cut 22mm dia Aluminum rod to 201mm length with hacksaw.
 Now clamp the rod in lathe machine.
 Turning tool will be used in tool post.
 Perform facing operation on both ends.
 Mark center at one end with drill using drill chuck on tail stock.
 Clamp the specimen to spindle chuck with 10mm clamping space.
 The center we marked earlier will be used to hold the specimen so that it spins with balance, this will
be done using dead center quill on tail stock.
 Now we will do turning operation on sample and reduce its dia from 22mm to 20mm.
 Now specimen will be removed from chuck and will be clamped oppositely so that dia of the other
side grip section is reduced to 20mm.
 1500 grit Sand paper will be used to smoothen the finishing.
 Now turning operation will be performed on gauge length and diameter will be reduced to 12mm.
 A 2mm round cut tool will be used to create an inward curved fillet at ends of gauge length.
 2000 grit sand paper will be used to smoothen the specimen.
 We will un clamp the specimen and its ready.
