The mechanical properties of materials are generally characterized by performing mechanical tests.
This characterization can have two objectives:
· Verify the compliance of a material, heat treatment, or surface treatment with the requirements of a reference standard. In this case, standardized mechanical tests are generally used, as they are sufficiently easy to implement for industrial use.
· Evaluate macro- or microscopic properties to understand the mechanisms governing material behavior in order to analyze causes of failure or contribute to R&D work to meet increasingly demanding specific stress conditions. To do this, more sophisticated techniques generally used by specialized laboratories may be employed.
In general, the properties evaluated are hardness, mechanical strength, toughness, fatigue resistance, and wear resistance.
This day will be an opportunity to review the principles and objectives of mechanical testing, take stock of their industrial use, and present the latest methods for investigating and studying the mechanical behavior of materials.
