Mechanical Testing Techniques for Metals

Would you like to improve your understanding regarding the principles associated with the mechanical testing of metallic materials?

Would you like to further your knowledge of mechanical testing techniques and the interpretation of test results?

This course suits managers and technicians responsible for the QA testing of metals & metal products. It is also relevant to designers, specifiers, sales and purchasing personnel.

The course aims to give a grounding in the range of mechanical properties measured for metals together with descriptions of the test methods used.

ZwickRoell offers a professional, comprehensive, and cost-effective training course which concentrates on a wide range of mechanical testing disciplines and incorporates the following key learning objectives:

• Understand the meanings of terms such as strength, ductility, hardness, and toughness.
• Appreciate why compromise between high values of strength and toughness is necessary.
• Understand the metal structure differences that give rise to continuous and dis continuous yielding.
• Be familiar with parameters such as Young’s modulus (E), yield strength, proof stress, UTS, ductility, engineering stress-strain, true stress-strain and work hardening index ‘n’
• Distinguish between ductile, brittle, and intergranular failures.
• Gain an insight into creep, fatigue, and fracture mechanics.

This one-day course will comprise a blend of technical presentations and practical testing demonstrations.

Course delegates will receive a certificate of attendance and a comprehensive technical manual containing useful training course and reference material. Lunch and refreshments are included.
