Gleeble How-To: Accumulator Recharge

This is a How-To tutorial showing the process of Recharging an accumulator in the Gleeble before testing a sample using physical simulation. What is Physical Simulation? Physical simulation is the exact reproduction of the thermal and mechanical processes in the laboratory that a material is subjected to during the manufacturing processes or end use. Physical simulation is a valuable tool used to study metallurgical processed, develop new materials and replicate real world conditions in the laboratory. Dynamic Systems Inc. (DSI) designs and manufactures equipment for dynamic thermal-mechanical testing of materials and physical simulation of processes.
