Tensile Testing of Metallic Samples at Elevated Temperature, Stress Relaxation and Indentation Creep
(Elevated Temperature Tension, Stress Relaxation & Indentation Creep)
Test Equipment
Tensile testing machine equipped with a three-zone cylindrical furnace and grips and fixtures for indentation creep testing, minimum test temperature 150°C, maximum 982°C, and maximum tensile load 2 tons
Test Conditions
Elevated temperature tensile testing is performed according to ASTM E21 and stress relaxation testing is performed according to ASTM E328 on various flat and round samples (Sub Size according to ASTM E8). These tests can be performed based on the force application rate requested by the client. The delivered data includes an Excel or Notepad file along with the graph image plotted by the extensometer and machine software. All the above tests can be performed in the presence of the client.
Creep and Stress Rupture (Creep and Stress Rupture)
Test Equipment
Creep testing machines operate with dead weight (Dead Weight) mechanism and are equipped with a three-zone cylindrical furnace, capable of recording stress rupture time (Stress Rupture) and plotting creep curves (Load Extension Curve, Stress-Strain Curve). The furnace has a highly precise controller with temperature fluctuation of 2°C below 600°C, 3°C in the 600-900°C range, and 4°C in the 900-1200°C range, equipped with an extensometer with measurement accuracy up to thousandths of a millimeter and strain rate measurement capability up to sec (1\ sec) 10 -9 with machines having specifications:
- Minimum temperature 100°C, maximum 1200°C, maximum tensile load 2 tons
- Minimum temperature 100°C, maximum 982°C, maximum tensile load 1 ton
Test Conditions
Creep and stress rupture testing is performed according to ASTM E139 on various flat and round samples. The delivered data includes an Excel or Notepad file along with the graph image plotted by the machine software.
