Material Testing Methods
Tensile Tests
Measure the elasticity and strength of metal specimens. The process literally pulls the sample apart. During the process the mechanical properties are monitored and recorded.
Rockwell & Brinell Hardness Testing
Measures how hard the surface of a metal is compared to an international standard. The test lowers a weighted indentor on to the metal and then measures the depth of the indent.
Vickers Micro-hardness Testing
Measures the hardness of a metal sample at the microscopic level.
Charpy Impact Testing
Measures the brittleness of a metal specimen. The amount of force needed to break the specimen correlates to the brittleness of the material.
Fracture Toughness and Fatigue Testing
Measures the ability of a material containing a crack to resist fracture and is one of the most important properties of any material for virtually all design applications.
