proof of BEND AND STICK
The bend and flattening test determines the ductility and strength of a material under bending and compressive stresses.
These tests are essential for evaluating the performance of materials under varying loading conditions. We offer detailed and reliable results, supporting industry in material selection and optimization.
The purpose of this type of testing is to determine the behavior of metallic materials to plastic deformation.
The SMT materials testing laboratory is equipped to conduct bend and crush tests and is equipped with a press for crush tests up to 4,000 kN.
