Bend testing in laboratory
Would you like to a bend testing on a raw material or a finished product ?
What is a bend testing ?
A bend testing or torsion test is a mechanical test performed on a raw material and/or finished product to assess its resistance to mechanical torsion. These tests can be carried out by applying a rotational movement, or by combining tensile or compressive forces with torsional forces.
Why perform a bend testing in a laboratory ?
Some products are subjected to significant torsional forces during use. Torsion testing is particularly useful in the fields of engineering and new product design, when engineers wish to test, modify or update the materials used in their design.
Bend testing also helps limit the risk of breakage, cracking and degradation of your materials. Performing mechanical tests such as torsion testing on your materials gives you a better understanding of the various failures to which you may be subject. Indeed, mechanical testing has the advantage of testing the limits of your materials in order to optimize them.
This is why the support of an expert materials laboratory in carrying out twist testing is a considerable asset in optimizing your materials.
The mechanical properties most often measured by torsion tests are :
Which industrial sectors are concerned?
Bend testing is widely used in many industrial sectors, including aerospace, automotive, civil engineering and medical device manufacturing. Materials tested can include metals, polymers, composites and ceramics.
