How does the tensile test work?
W.S. Werkstoff Service carries out tensile testing on a standardised sample to determine a material's mechanical load-bearing capacity. The sample is first manufactured, measured and prepared in accordance with the relevant standard. It is then precisely clamped and aligned in the tensile testing machine. During testing, the sample is stretched at a defined rate until it fractures. Force and change in length are recorded continuously. The measurement data produce a stress-strain diagram from which key properties such as tensile strength, yield strength and elongation after fracture are derived. Finally, the results are documented in a test report that complies with the relevant standard.
