THEORETICAL AND PRACTICAL COURSE OF MECHANICAL TESTING
Mechanical testing is of fundamental importance in the characterization of materials and in checking the conformity of manufactured goods such as forgings, forgings, bars, etc.
During the course, topics related not only to classical mechanical tests such as hardness, tensile strength and resilience will be examined, but also tests inherent to fatigue and creep will be addressed.
Added value of the course: the opportunity to visit the SMT materials testing laboratory and that of witnessing the performance of the tests described during the course.
The course aims to:
Target audience
The course is intended for laboratory workers, personnel employed in product testing, and also for all those technicians who need for their profession or role an in-depth study of mechanical testing topics.
