FIMEC (Flat-top Cylinder Indenter for Mechanical Characterization) is an indentation technique employing cylindrical punches with diameters ranging from 0.5 to 2 mm. The test gives pressure-penetration curves from which yield strength and elasticity modulus are determined. Although FIMEC provides local mechanical properties, hundreds of grains are involved so data are representative of bulk material and the superficial conditions of the material (roughness, segregation, etc.) are not so critical as in the case of nano and micro-indentation tests. Due to its characteristics FIMEC test is usefully employed to measure the mechanical properties of semifinished and finished products (pin squeeze casting process, extrusion, welding, compaction etc.). FIMEC apparatus is useful in the determination of the state of the material, to have the right check of the process and permits the “on line control” of the production.

Abstract
FIMEC (Flat-top Cylinder Indenter for Mechanical Characterization) is an indentation technique employing cylindrical punches with diameters ranging from 0.5 to 2 mm. The test gives pressure-penetration curves from which yield strength and elasticity modulus are determined. Although FIMEC provides local mechanical properties, hundreds of grains are involved so data are representative of bulk material and the superficial conditions of the material (roughness, segregation, etc.) are not so critical as in the case of nano and micro-indentation tests. Due to its characteristics FIMEC test is usefully employed to measure the mechanical properties of semifinished and finished products (pin squeeze casting process, extrusion, welding, compaction etc.). FIMEC apparatus is useful in the determination of the state of the material, to have the right check of the process and permits the “on line control” of the production.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
