Σύνοψη

In this project the shear strength of metals and the techniques of metal powder synthesis were studied with particular reference on spray drying, ways of strengthening of metals and tensile testing.
At a second stage the design and construction of aluminium press and die were carried out, for the production of metallic specimens by compacting of metal powders. Cast iron tensile specimens were also constructed for comparison.
Unfortunately, during our research we found out that the tubular furnace, which was an essential apparatus for the construction of the specimens, was impossible to be found in Cyprus. However, we managed to construct our own tubular furnace the design of which consist of a heating element wrapped around a pyrex tube.
Due to the practical problems mentioned above the project was confined to the theoretical part, as the samples was impossible to be ready in time. Experimental samples will, hopefully, be presented in my interview.
