Mechanical testing of materials
Mechanical testing covers a wide range of disciplines from conventional tensile testing of materials or products to advanced test methods such as Fracture Toughness Testing.
Designers, manufacturers, users and owners of mass-produced materials or products can often benefit greatly from simply having quality control performed. Through quality control, detailed knowledge of the material or the product's special properties is obtained - that is, whether it is, for example, ductile, brittle or has a tendency to fatigue fracture.
Documentation of the material's strength and ductility
Performing conventional test methods such as bend, tensile or impact testing will support you with documentation of material strength and ductility when manufactured, supplied or bought in order to fulfil your quality requirements as well as fulfilling the rules and regulations.
Understanding the material's properties under load
A deeper understanding of material behaviour under the influence of loads – tension, compression or fatigue loads - as well as temperature is provided by fracture mechanic and fatigue testing. No matter if you hold in-house expertise in the field or not, you will always benefit from working closely together with our design experts.

Services
Tensile testing
Accredited tensile testing of materials, metals and joining methods ensures reliable results
Fatigue testing
Understand the ability of materials, joints and products to withstand stress and corrosion.
Fracture mechanic testing
Stay ahead of brittle fracture, crack growth or material defects
Toughness testing
One of the most feared failures in steels is brittle fracture because it happens with no warning.
Testing of welds, brazings and expansion procedures
Testing of welds, brazings and expansion procedures is crucial in many industries of today.
