Right now I'm developing a strain gage using High Carbon, Spring Tempered, C1085 Steel 0.23 mm piano wire. However from my few experiments from this material and some other materials, I found that C1085 Steel was not hard enough, and not so good and stable for "vibrating wire" application. Is...
I am in the process of developing wire for Strain Gage application. Generally, this Strain Gage is welded to a steel truss, or steel rib support ( in deep excavations or tunneling) for measuring internal stress within these structures. I wonder if anyone can advise me which wire material is...
