Material testing is a testing method used to determine the physical and mechanical properties, such as strength, resistance, and toughness, of materials and components. Common testing equipment for material testing includes XRF analyzers, hardness testers, laser micrometers, ultrasonic thickness gauges, and more.
Types of Material Testing
Material testing covers a wide range of tests and measurements in different industries. This technique is categorized as mechanical, thermal, electrical, resistance, and non-destructive. Material testing equipment examines properties like strength, toughness, flexibility, and suitability of specific materials. This test method performs tests to determine the reaction of substances for specific applications.
