What is Mechanical Testing?

Mechanical Testing is a process used to determine the mechanical properties of a material. A wide variety of mechanical testing methods can be performed when evaluating a material, some of which may determine the appropriateness of a material subject to corrosion.

 

Why Use Mechanical Testing Services from the GIC International ?

GIC International  offers comprehensive capabilities using some of the most advanced equipment available. Mechanical Testing Provides validation and confirmation to additive and traditional manufacturing processes related to forces applied in static or dynamic applications.

In addition, a mechanical test can validate newly developed material and processes technologies and provide a method of controlling quality. 

Typical Mechanical testing properties include:

  • Electricity
  • Tensile Strength
  • Elongation
  • Hardness
  • Fracture Toughness
  • Impact Resistance
  • Creep
  • Stress Rupture
  • Substantiation of Fatigue Limits

GIC International  conducts a variety of fatigue tests on-site, measuring the ability of materials to withstand the application of repeated load cycles.

The company is equipped to conduct:

  • Component Fatigue Testing
  • Fatigue Crack Growth Rate
  • Fatigue Toughness Testing
  • Fracture Toughness
  • Low Cycle Fatigue Testing
  • High Cycle Fatigue Testing

These tests can all be performed in high and low-temperature chambers simulating the real-world environment of each underlying part’s end-use.

GIC International  also performs tensile testing on-site. It can measure both ultimate tensile strength and yield strength or the point at which plastic deformation begins. As part of this process, the GIC International  conducts elevated temperature tensile tests as a proven method of evaluating the behaviour of materials under a combination of heat and tension.

In addition to fatigue and tensile Testing, GIC International  also performs creep testing on-site, allowing the company to measure the tendency of material, after being subjected to high temperatures, to change its form over time. Creep is high-temperature progressive deformation at constant stress.
