Impact Testing (Charpy V-Notch)
Universal Mechanical Testing (TM-600 MA)
Key Technical Specifications & Capabilities:
Specimen Notching
(Broaching Machine BRC-14)
Ultra-Low Temperature Cryostat (Julabo)
Our laboratory is equipped with a high-performance CERMAC Universal Hydraulic Testing Machine designed to execute precision destructive testing on metallic materials and structures. This electro-hydraulic system guarantees flawless mechanical stress evaluation, allowing us to rigorously determine the yield strength, ultimate tensile strength, elongation, and overall ductility of base metals and welded joints.
Load Capacity: Maximum load capacity of up to 1000 kN, with an active high-precision measuring range of 20 to 1000 kN.
Test Capabilities: We perform high-load static tensile, compression, and bending tests on both small specimens and large-size industrial components.
Dimensional Capacities: Accommodates round specimens with diameters from 12 mm to 60 mm, and flat specimens with a clamping width of up to 70 mm and thickness up to 55 mm.
Machine Limits: Features a maximum distance between tension grips of 600 mm and a maximum piston travel distance of 250 mm.
Process Control: Fully automated load and elevation control using an advanced digital interface and internal MOOG servo-valves (D633-303B), ensuring stable applied load curves and exact execution of the test cycle.
Extensometer Integration: We utilize integrated extensometers to precisely measure and chart the sample’s continuous deformation, tracking the material response straight to the breaking point.
Reporting: Every test automatically generates a fully customized report and comprehensive graphical diagram, documenting all parameter fluctuations and ensuring full traceability.
High-precision application of V-notches and U-notches on metal specimens used for Charpy impact testing. This hydraulic broaching machine ensures exact geometric parameters of the notch for accurate toughness results.
Designed for precise temperature conditioning of metal specimens prior to Charpy impact testing. This unit ensures stable and uniform cooling down to extreme sub-zero temperatures, meeting strict international standards for brittle fracture assessment in harsh environments.
Assessment of impact toughness and resistance to brittle fracture at extreme temperatures (down to -90°C) using a CERMAC JB-W500 pendulum impact tester (500J) and a Julabo cryostat.
Precise measurement of hardness values (Base Metal, HAZ, Weld Metal) according to Rockwell, Brinell, and Vickers scales using stationary (ARW-150EU) and portable (NOVOTEST) hardness testers.
Digital Measuring Projector
High-precision optical inspection system equipped with a digital readout (DRO). Used to meticulously verify the exact geometric parameters and dimensional tolerances of V-notches and U-notches on test specimens prior to impact testing.
Verification of mechanical properties and chemical composition; determination of critical limits for base materials and welds.
