Mechanical technology
Mechanical technology is a subject at technical universities and includes procedural science (conversion of raw materials into semi-finished and finished products), material processing and the associated test procedures . The subject area established itself as an independent discipline around 1810. Today, this traditional discipline is mostly embedded in a larger context at universities through the newer lecture subject "Technology of Materials" and its content continues in the newer lecture subject.
In a narrower sense, it deals with the processes for processing, reshaping or deforming solids and surface technology . The test methods include a.
- Testing of solids for material defects (voids, hairline cracks, inclusions, etc.)
- Mechanical processes such as bending , compression and tensile tests , penetrant testing ,
- Non-destructive testing , e.g. B. by means of vibration
- Sound methods such as sonography , structure-borne sound and ultrasound testing
- and special electrical test methods.
