Materials
Research Society:
The Materials Research Society is an organization
of materials reserchers from academia, industry, and government that
promotes communication for the advancement of interdisciplinary materials
research to improve the quality of life.
In this publication, an experiment investigating the effect of strain rate
on tensile ductility of moisture-induced embrittlement of CO3Ti alloys
using a tensile test and scanning electron microscope fractography.
Materials
Research Society:
Another publication by the Materials Research
Society was produced explaining the theory of a paradox of strength and
ductility in metals processed by severe plastic deformation. Coventional
methods of forming increased the strength of the metal but reduced the
ductility.
Sun-Tec Corporation:
Sun-Tec
Corporation is a supplier of both sales and service in the area of
precision testing equipment. Information on equipment such as Rockwell,
Brinell, Micro and Macro Indentation as well as Ductility, Tensile and
Compression testers is available.
Canadian
Metallurgical Quarterly:
As a part of the Canada Institute for Scientific and Technical
Information, this publication produces information related to
breakthroughs in Metallurgical science.
In this publication, Four tool steels were tested by hot torsion
deformation in which carbide contributed to an increase in strength but
reduction in ductility.

Causeeffect.org:
The following article written by Carl R. Littmann gives a simplified
approach to metal tensile stregth using concepts of Guericke and Venturi.
Conceptual comparisons are made providing a simplified summary of the
subject as well as detailed illustrations describing metal behavior.
Strength of
Materials:
This site examines the fundamentals of strength in materials by defining
such terms as stress, starin, stiffness, and toughness. This page is
derived from a conglomorate of sites that relate the fields of art,
science, music,and culture.
Ultimate
Tensile Strength:
This publication features the definition of Ultimate Tensile Strength,
using basic theorems and detailed stress-strain curve diagrams.

This site is the Ceramics division of the MAterials Science and
Engineering Laboratory for the National Institute of Standards and
Technology. The information present is dedicated to measurements and
standards used in applications by universities and industry.
The term Eutectic is defined giving a brief summary on its relevance as
well as a detailed
Wall Colmony Corporation for the last 65 years is a recognized supplier of
metallurgical products and services in the industry. Also available on
the website is an array of information on recent news and applications.
This section explains the range between Solidus and Liquidus as well as
the eutectic point.
EVG is a recognized leader in microsytems technology. The company is as
well as website is devoted to the manufacturing of MEMS and semiconductor
production equipment.
In this publication, the anodic bonding of silicon and glass wafers is
fully examined. These wafers have high alkali metal content depending on
its euctectic point as a technique within the method of intermediate-layer
bonding.
InterFlux USA, Inc. manufactures and distributes various high quality
Soldering systems. This site is dedicated to their products and news in
the ecological and economical advances of their business. The development
of the product, Six-Sigma Electrolyte Solder, is
promoted and evaluated. The influence of the solder quality and purity is
directly identified with the eutectic point which analyzes the
characteristics of the solder and alloys used, specifically refering to
its melting point.
FIC is the most important European manufacturer of eutectic plates. These
plates consist of two steel sheets, rollwelded together, filled with a
solution whose freezing point is fixed, eutectic point.
