Tensile Testing

Tensile Testing

Tensile testing, also known as tension testing, is a fundamental materials science and engineering process that assesses the behavior of a material when subjected to uniaxial tensile stress. This test is crucial in determining a material’s mechanical properties, including its strength, ductility, elasticity, and toughness. By stretching a sample until it fractures, tensile testing provides valuable insights into how materials will perform under various forces and conditions, making it indispensable in fields such as engineering, manufacturing, and quality control.
