The main objective in lab #1 was to test Aluminum, Low Carbon Steel, Brass, and Stainless Steel. There were four labs performed on all four of these metals, they were performed as follows in order; Thermal Conductivity, Magnetic Properties, Thermal Expansion, and Elongation. Heat was used to test thermal expansion, to see how far a piece of metal would expand when it was left in a 500 degree v-slot for five minutes. When Thermal Conductivity was tested the rods were put on a 500 degree plate and a wax ring was placed in the v slot. Magnetic Properties were tested by placing a magnet to a strip of steel and heating it up so that the atoms move around and the magnet falls off. The last experiment that was done was an Elongation experiment where the specimen that was under stress was placed in the tensile testing machine and stressed to multiple psi. My conclusion was that certain metals are better for certain applications than others because of their different molecular structure......
