MATERIAL TESTS

Capabilities:

  • Creep testing,
  • Fatigue testing (Low&High Cycle),
  • Tensile testing.

Available techniques:

  • Specimen strength testing in accordance with ASTM and other standards,
  • Material fatigue strength evaluation at various temperatures and stress levels,
  • Material property determination through static tension, compression and bending tests,
  • Creep testing in temperatures up to 1100oC in accordance with ASTM-E 139 and other standards.
