Metal testing equipment is primarily used to measure the tensile strength of metals, however further uses include hardness and impact testing, metallographic and formability testing, and much more.

Tensile testing is a common method of measuring the mechanical properties of materials, such as strength, elasticity, and ductility. It involves applying a gradually increasing force to a specimen ...

We will look at a very easy experiment that provides lots of information about the strength or the mechanical behavior of a material, called the tensile test. The basic idea of a tensile test is to ...
