Uniaxial Tension Testing

Tension Testing FADI-AMT

As the most fundamental of all material tests, we naturally perform a wide range of uniaxial tension tests that cover many applications and needs

  • Standard tests (per ISO 6892 or equivalent), other automotive-specific standard tests, and many more custom tests
  • Various test sample sizes ranging from miniature to oversized
  • Various thicknesses ranging from thin foils to sheets to plates
  • A wide spectrum of materials (metals, polymers, composites, fabrics, etc.)
  • The full range of testing speeds and strain rates (ranging from quasi-static to intermediate to high rates)
  • Different temperatures (from sub-zero to elevated temperatures)

Samples of our work

Uniaxial Tension Tests by Sample Size:

  • Super-sized samples (for full evaluation of material homogeneity across steel and aluminium coils)
  • Over-sized samples (for fracture testing and supporting FEA with large mesh sizes)
  • Standard sized samples (for material qualification and extraction of mechanical properties)
  • Sub-sized samples (for evaluation of lab-development heats and materials extracted from components)
  • Miniature-sized samples (for evaluation of materials precisely extracted from components)
