Mechanical Materials Testing

Cornerstone of Structural Materials

Determination of stiffness and resilience of materials

Tensile testing acc. to EN 6892-1
Strain and tension-controlled tensile test
Compression and bending tests
Wide parameter window (force up to 250kN, temperatures from -160°C to 300°C - during tensile test, temperature range compression and bending tests on request)
In-house production of sample holders for special requirements (for example peeling tension)
Brinell hardness testing to complete the mechanical characteristic value profile of materials

Test Procedure	Performance Parameters	Application
Tensile/compression/bending test	Accuracy class ≤ 0.5 0 to 250kN Test room: 600x2000mm R/N value determination Test speeds up to 2500 mm/sec	Material characteristics determination Testing of components
Tensile/compression/bending test at reduced/elevated temperature	Accuracy class 1.0 -160°C to +300°C (+/–5°C) - during tensile test 0 to 250kN	Testing of materials and components under real thermal conditions
Specialised testing procedure	Wide range of special sampling In-house production at LKR	Peeling tension for testing of joints Special geometries of components Material combinations
Hardness test	Brinell method	Material characteristics determination
