Testing of Materials Proc. Second Japan. Congr. on Testing Materials,
1958
Compiled by The Editorial Committee of the Japanese Congress on Testing Materials, with the cooperation of The Science Council of Japan. Published by the Japanese Society for Testing Materials, Kyoto, Japan 1959. 246 pp.. numerous fig. and ref. 67 papers on metallic and non-metallic materials, testing methods and apparatus. An appendix deals with the present industrial situation in Japan (Equipments and Techniques). KUMAKURA reports on a metal compression test, using Teflon films and MoSz as a lubricant. Large deformations with little bulging of the specimen and conditions of constant low friction are observed. (4 pp., 4 fig., 5 ref.) IMAIZUMI reports on a new machine for testing the wear resistance of timber. A combination of rubbing, sand erosion and impact action is used. The importance of wear due to impact on flooring surfaces is emphasized. (4 pp., I I fig., 4 ref.) [Year. 3 (1960) 327
