MacSmiths

This October MacSmiths competed in the Heat Treating Society Strongbar competition. The objective was to heat treat a bar of 9254 steel to sustain the highest load under 3 point bending. Our team placed 2nd in the bend testing!

The first image is our poster showcasing the work that went into designing and performing the heat treatment. The second image shows the two bend test samples described in the poster

Great work to everyone who competed!

Thank you everyone for joining the MacSmiths this year! 🔥😊

Unfortunately, there will be no more forging sessions this year as constructions are commencing in the forging room. We are hoping to see you all again in the 2023 fall semester. Stay tuned for updates!
