Open University Establishes World Lead In Weld Testing For Safety-Critical Applications
2 PagesThe work is being carried out by Dr Alexander Forsey, a research associate at the University’s Department of Engineering and Innovation. The test equipment comprises a Zwick Roell slow strain rate universal testing machine combined with a Severn Thermal Solutions vacuum furnace. A flat sample is extracted from the weld section under investigation by wire spark erosion, with the weld extending along the width of the gauge length. This produc
