Micro hardness testing involves forcing a diamond indenter with a specific geometry into the surface of a test piece under a small load, then using a microscope to measure the resulting indentation to determine the hardness; there are three main types of tests that differ by the indenter shape and how indentation size is measured; micro hardness testing is useful for measuring small parts, surface layers, and the hardness of individual micro-constituents.
This presentation is for mechanical engineering/ civil engineering students to help them understand the different type of destructive mechanical testing of materials. The tensile testing, hardness, impact test procedures are explained in detail.

Design and Preparation of Aluminium Nozzle Using Metal Spinning ProcessNitesh Sharma
This new technique comprises of single-piece production of nozzle i.e. convergent, and divergent parts without the involvement of welding these parts separately to bolster the strength of the nozzle and increasing the efficacy of the nozzle.
Here I include some materials hardness testing experiment such as: brinell hardness testing, rockwell hardness testing, knoop and vickers hardness and impact test.
This part deals with the meaning of hardnbess. The importance of hardness and how to measure comparative values. Aportable apparatus can be used connected with a lap top or with any feasible means of recording the results can be appled.
The mechanical properties, i.e., yield strength of the material can be obtainedusing this NDT test without destructing the component by simply multiplying the reco9rded hardness reading by a constant depending on the carbon equivalent of the material.
Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

2. Micro Hardness Testing
• Forcing a diamond indenter of specific geometry into
the surface of the test piece with a load (1 to 50,000
gf).
• Three type of test: i) Knoop ii) vicker iii)ultrasonic.
• IN knoop and vicker, size of resulting un-recovered
indentation by using a microscope.
• Measured change in the frequency of a vibrating
diamond-tipped rod (no microscope).
• All these testing methods produce an indentation
depth of less than 19 micron.
3. Knoop indenter
Knoop indenter.
Highly polished,
rhombic-based
pyramidal diamond
that produces a
diamond shaped
indentation
Ratio between long and short diagonals of
about 7-1.The pyramid shape has an
angle, (longitudinal) 172-30, transverse
angle of 130-0.
4. Vickers indenter
• Vicker indenter.
• Highly polished
• pointed square base
• pyramidal diamond
• with face angles of 136
6. Interesting information
• For same load the vicker indenter penetrates
about twice as far into the specimen as the
Knoop indenter.
• Therefore the vicker test is less sensitive to
minute differences in surface condition than
knoop test.
7. Difference in Knoop and vicker
The basic differences are:
• i) diamond indenter shape ii) Load
• Knoop indenter. Highly polished, rhombic-based
pyramidal diamond that produces a diamond shaped
indentation.
• Ratio between long and short diagonals of about 7-1.The
pyramid shape has an angle, (longitudinal) 172-
30, transvers angle of 130-0.
• Vicker indenter. Highly polished pointed square base
pyramidal diamond with face angles of 136.
8. Measuring the Indentation
A microscope in conjunction with the hardness tester
is used to determine the size of indentation. Proper
magnification is important for accurate
measurements. max---min
Indentation length (micron) Mag.( max---min) Less
then 76 measurement. 400
• 76-----------125 800---------300
• More then 125 600---------200
• The ends of indentation diagonals must be brought
into sharp focus.
9. Testing equipment
• Tester vary primarily in load range capabilities. (micro-
hardness to mac-rohardness)
• Most of them accommodate either the knoopor or vicker
indenters.
• Application of load by dead weight or by weights and a lever.
• Load from 1-10 gf are directly applied to the top of the
indenter.
• Application.
• Research and development, micro-constituents, small
parts, foil and wire ,hardened parts.
10. Specific Application
• Measuring hardness of too small work pieces.
• Measuring hardness close to edges
• Foil or wire too thin or too small
• Monitoring of carburising or nitriding
operations
• Hardness of individual constituents (micro)
• Measuring hardness of surface layers such as
plating etc.
11. Strength from Brinell Hardness
Steel:
Su = 3.45 HB (MPa)
Cast Iron:
Su = 5.35HB -500
(MPa)
Brass:
Su = 2.9HB + 50
(MPa)
