Observation of Destruction of Micro Glass/Plastic Beads

Introduction

In extending the durability of various products, the evaluation of strength is an important element for developing materials that comprise these products. For example, measuring the strength of each particle of a particulate material and observing the destruction process at the same time is useful for gaining information for looking into the case of material fragility, for example, and solving problems. This time, a compression destruction test was performed on micro glass beads and micro plastic beads using the MST-I Micro Autograph, and images of their destruction were taken at the same using the HPV-1 High-Speed Video Camera, which is capable of taking photos at an ultra-high speed of 1 million frames/second. Application of micro-granular particles is spreading to various spacer materials, for example, and the evaluation of their mechanical performance is meaningful. The following introduces an example of photos taken when micro particles were destroyed instantly in the strength evaluation process.
