  • Wearing element with enhanced wear resistance
    Patent number: 8806785
    Abstract: Wearing element with enhanced wear resistance related to wearing elements, such as cast steel teeth to be specially used in machinery for earth-moving, ground-engaging and/or rock-cutting applications, as well as to inserts to be included within the wearing elements, to enhance their wear resistance thus prolonging their service life.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 28, 2010
    Date of Patent: August 19, 2014
    Assignee: Metalogenia, S.L.
    Inventors: Jordi Brufau Guinovart, Jorge Alcala, Jorge Triginer Boixeda, Jose Sanchez, Jose Lopez Almendros

  • Depth sensing indentation and methodology for mechanical property measurements
    Patent number: 6247355
    Abstract: An indentation measurement apparatus is retrofittable onto any of a variety of load-applying frames and includes a mount for mounting an indenter of any geometry (for example blunt or sharp). The arrangement is very stiff and mechanical values including Young's modulus, strain hardening exponent, yield strength, and hardness can be obtained from a single load/unload versus displacement test. A wide variety of materials can be tested using the apparatus. An optical probe can measure displacement of the indenter head relative to a sample. A new method of calculating strain hardening directly from load/displacement measurement is presented as is a new method of calculating strain hardening exponent.
