An apparatus (1) for detecting mechanical features of materials, in particular metal materials, comprising an indenter (10) adapted to be pushed against a sample material (15) in which it penetrates for a depth (h) and responsive to the hardness of the materials same. The apparatus (1) provides means for generating a measured force (F) and a transmission gear (35) which changes the rotational motion of shaft (40) of motor (30) into a linear reversible movement. The force generated is then amplified in a hydraulic way and transmitted to the indenter (10). This solution allows to lighten and to reduce the size of the mechanisms for generating the force, reducing also wear and mechanical backlash, as well as costs and overall dimensions. An advantage is also to measure with precision the stroke of the indenter with corresponding control in precision of the penetration (h) of the indenter in the sample material.
sn) and strain-hardening coefficient (n) comprised within determined ranges. The tested sample is then arranged at an indenter, for example a ball indenter (52), for being subject to an indentation test. This is started to cause a graduated penetration of the indenter in the material subject to analysis (53). During the indentation test the penetration depth (h) responsive to the penetration force (P) are measured, and a succession of measured couples (P,h) (54) is then recorded. Such couples of determined values (P,h) are then computed (55), in order to extrapolate from the database at least one reference curve (P,h), for example by a least squares method (56).
The method for making stratified glass starts with making a template (20) of refractory material, for example fibreclay, starting from a block (30). The template (20) can be carved by a tool (55) moved by a machine (50) along a calculated trajectory. This trajectory can be generated by a computer (60) on the basis of a model (65). The template (20) reproducing the shape of the digital model (65) is, then put in an oven for glass (100), for example on a support (101). Then, a sheet of glass material (10) is arranged on the template (20) and the temperature of the oven (100) is raised to a determined value, in general higher than the softening temperature of the glass material, for a certain time. The softening of the glass material brings the portion of the plate (10) located at the template (20) in intimate contact with it. This way, on a portion of the plate (10), after cooling, a relief figure (11) is obtained reproducing the shape of the template (20). The sheet is then coupled to a second sheet by interposing a bonding material. Also the second sheet can be obtained with the same process, obtaining a relief stratified glass.
