3 EXPERIMENTAL ASSEMBLY
The main purpose of this laboratory is to do the spark
test made by holding a sample of the material against an
abrasive wheel, by visually inspecting the spark. In the
day-to-day we work with a lot of different types of wires,
and the spark test is an easy way to classify them.
4 ANALISS Y RESULTS
Sweet wire
Materials:
Grinder
Meter
Wires of different materials
Camera
Security clothes
Procedure
Turn the grinder on and bring the metal into light contact
with the grinding wheel, such that the sparks fly clear of
the grinder and wheel. Carefully observe the color,

5 CONCLUSIONES
The metals have a greater length and width of spark and
burn as its carbon content increases and its hardness;
highly conductive materials do not generate spark, as is
the case of copper. In materials with some coating we
can view a change in the color of the spark as well as the
angle that forms this.
