The hardness of a material is one of the more compelling factors that determine its suitability for a specific purpose. As such, a hardness test is required to determine the extent of a material’s ability to contribute to an object’s […]
What is Impact Testing? Impact testing is a procedure that measures a material’s resistance to failure when subjected to high-rate loading. This method is used in multiple industries like automotive, aerospace, and construction to guarantee materials withstand real-world impacts. […]
What is Metallography? Metallography is the analysis of a material’s microstructure. Its main goal is to determine if it was properly processed. It is vital in identifying its reliability and troubleshoot any related problems. Technical Information on Metallographic Consumables As […]
It is an established notion in the field of manufacturing that a certain object is just as good as the materials it is made of. As such, production specialists need to make sure that every component, material, and material treatment […]
Out of all the known methods to directly gauge the strength of materials to be used for a number of applications, tensile testing is perhaps the most direct and easiest to apply. The Universal Tensile Tester is the machine solely […]
Izod impact strength testing of plastic and other raw materials is important. It can be done via ASTM D256, a standard test method for determining the Izod pendulum impact assistance of plastics. This is to measure the capacity of the […]
Introduction A tensile test is a scientific test process involving the application of tension to a specimen until it fractures. It is an important type of test for determining a material’s tensile strength, yield strength and ductility. These standardized tests […]
NBS Abrasion Testing – Requirements, Specimens and Process Like other consumer products, rubber undergoes tests for quality and durability. The NBS Abrasion test will measure a material’s Resistance to Rubber Abrasion. This test method also determines the durability of rubber […]
The Significance of DIN Abrasion Testing One way of measuring the wear resistance of rubber is through DIN Abrasion Testing. The main samples used for this test are tires, soles, and conveyor/drive belts. Tires, conveyor and transmission belts undergo a […]
