Applied Technical Services provides elevated temperature tensile testing as one of the many services offered by our tensile testing lab. Tensile testing is imperative to understanding a material’s strengths and limitations. Our tensile testing experts perform all tests to relevant standards and qualifications.
The Elevated Temperature Tensile Test
Elevated temperature tensile testing combines tensile testing and high temperatures to evaluate the effects of constant strain and heat on a material. Elevated temperature tensile testing aims to calculate a material’s resistance to high temperatures under a continuous load to better understand the material’s integrity. In industries such as the military, automotive, aerospace, and power generation, products must withstand elevated temperatures. Parts used in these industries must be strong enough to tolerate the service conditions without compromising structural integrity. To perform an elevated temperature tensile test, a calibrated test machine pulls the specimen until failure in compliance with relevant standards. Our technicians plot data points along a stress-strain curve, allowing them to calculate various material properties. Our experts evaluate and analyze the following characteristics:
- Area Reduction
- Proportion Limit
- Ductility
- Tensile Strength
- Yield Point
- Elongation
- Ultimate Strength
- Modulus of Elasticity
- Elastic Limit
- Yield Strength
