Metallography & Metallurgical Analysis

Mechanical testing is used to determine a materials strength by applying loads that pull, compress, impact, bend, or cycle the material. These techniques can be used to determine a material or components durability, performance capability, or life expectancy in everyday applications.

Creep and Stress Rupture Testing are similar in principal except that the applied loads in Stress Rupture Testing are generally higher than in Creep Testing. Stress Rupture is a measurement of “time to failure” at a particular load, time, and temperature, whereas Creep is a measurement of progressive mechanical deformation at a particular load, time, and temperature.
