Tensile tests of your metal samples to ASTM e8/e8M - 13a and others.
Physical testing of your metals by Vickers, Rockwell B and Rockwell C methods.
We're here to assist! If you're facing challenges such as material failure, inconsistent mechanical properties, or issues with material performance, physical-material testing might be the solution you need. Testing methods like tensile and hardness testing can help determine the strength, durability, and overall quality of your materials.
If you're experiencing any of these issues or have other concerns, share them with us, and let's explore how physical-material testing can provide valuable insights and solutions tailored to your needs.
Metal tensile testing
It is normally carried out in accordance with ASTM E8/E8M -13a.
If you require tensile testing to an alternative standard, simply let us know, and we will find a way to accommodate your needs. Through partner Labs, we can also offer Charpy V-Notch Impact testing to AS1554-2. Please enquire about test sample sizing requirements.
Indentation hardness testing is a relatively non-destructive, quick and inexpensive way of determining your metal or material's ability to resist being permanently deformed (bent, broken, or having its shape change) when a load is applied. The greater the hardness of the metal, the greater resistance it has to deformation.
Static Indentation Hardness testing is, by far, the most common and reliable method for evaluating a material’s hardness. The above techniques involve forcing a ball, cone, or pyramid into the surface metal or other material, with a specific load over a standardised time period. The size of the indentation is then measured, from which hardness values are calculated.
