Nodular Ductile Iron Microstructure consisting of nodular graphite in a pearlitic matrix surrounded by ferrite islands (bullseye graphite)
Polymer Mechanical Testing
Tensile testing, using an Instron testing machine or other lighter load cell, elongates a sample and the force required to break the sample is recorded. This produces a stress strain curve from which mechanical properties (modulus, strength, elongation at break) is measured.
Compression testing, places a sample under a crushing load and deformation is recorded. This produces a stress strain curve from which compressive properties are measured.
Adhesion/peel testing, using an Instron testing machine or other lighter load cells, measures the strength required to pull apart a bonded surface or to tear a material.
Custom Testing, using various equipment and test fixtures and having the ability to machine test fixtures we can perform many types of testing including life cycle testing, friction/wear testing, environmental testing, and bend testing.
