Why is mechanical characterization essential?
The mechanical properties of materials are central to industrial performance. They are generally defined and validated through rigorous mechanical testing.
This characterization now meets two strategic objectives for companies:
1. Conformity guarantee and quality control
Objective: To verify the conformity of a material, heat treatment, or surface treatment.
Application: Validation against the requirements of a technical reference system.
Methodology: Useof standardized mechanical tests designed for easy and reliable implementation in an industrial environment.
2. Expert analysis and innovation (R&D)
Objective: Evaluate macro- or microscopic properties to decipher the mechanisms governing the behavior of materials.
Application: Analysis of failure causes or support for R&D work to meet increasingly demanding stress conditions.
Methodology: Use of sophisticated techniques and cutting-edge instruments, generally deployed by specialized laboratories.
What properties are evaluated during this day?
Experts will discuss key indicators of material health:
Hardness and mechanical strength
Tenacity
Resistance to fatigue orwear
On the agenda for this event:
This day will be the perfect opportunity to:
Review the fundamental principles and objectives of mechanical testing.
Take stock of current industrial use and regulatory frameworks.
Present the latest methods for investigating and studying mechanical behavior.
