Across
- 2. Method that inspects fields, lettering, and reeded edges under a jeweler's loupe or stereo microscope
- 4. Coins made to imitate the real thing and used for gain
- 6. Testing method that measures how fast sound waves travel through metal using an ultrasonic transducer and coupling gel
- 8. Branch of metallurgy that involves the study of the microstructure if metal and alloys
- 13. Black stone used in destructive testing across which a coin is rubbed to leave a metal streak before applying acid
- 14. The acient greek word for "metal" or "mine"
- 15. Physical method that weighs a dry coin and suspends it in a cup of distilled water to measure displaced water weight
- 17. Destructive chemical method that rubs a coin across a black touchstone and applies testing solution
- 19. Type of forensic metallurgy examination that determines type, composition, and characteristics of materials to help identify iron, steel or aluminum
- 20. Testing method that applies indenter loads and analyzes fracture faces using a scanning electron microscope to determine tensile strength
Down
- 1. Testing method that taps a coin with a wooden stick or another coin to analyze its sound frequency using a smartphone app
- 3. Testing method that places a coin onto sensor wand to send electromagnetic waves deep into the metal and test resistivity
- 5. Examination of damaged metallic materials to determine why they broke, cracked, or deformed due to stress or corrosion
