Whether you are an OEM testing an airframe or a third tier supplier testing high strength alloys, it is crucial to use a reliable tensile testing system that can produce repeatable results.

Two basic types of tensile test are broadly relevant; is the test specimen strong enough to resist breakage, or is it easy to use safely and efficiently?

Battery manufacturing quality in the automotive industry is becoming increasingly important with the growing popularity of electric and hybrid-electric vehicles.

Your choice of leak test method and technology can make a substantial difference in the results of your test, affecting your throughput, repeatability, product quality, and cost.

If you have questions about additive manufacturing, the experts are here to help. From ASTM to ISO to countless additive manufacturers, there is an organization that can address your specific application.

Materials testing is critical for the development and quality assurance of all products in the market, with some industries such as biomedical, aerospace, and automotive companies experiencing high volumes of testing throughput in addition to strict quality standards.

Universal testers are essential to quality in many industries because they help engineers understand the performance of materials, components, and products under various loading conditions.

Automated quality control systems improve the manufacturing process efficiency and effectiveness while simultaneously reducing the potential for human error and boosting the final product’s overall quality — and robotics and sensors play a critical role.

This article describes a novel micro-compression instrument and technique for determining the hardness of individual particles using controlled uniaxial compression. Brief examples of the technique used to characterize and compare the hardness of battery anode materials are provided.

There is a distinction between force measurement and material testing and your choice can be simplified by knowing what kind of information you need to collect.
