All tensile tests begin with thorough sample preparation along with test condition verification to ensure the test aligns with regulatory standards and any client-requested stipulations. The test sample is then mounted onto the tensile strength testing machine and subjected to various forces. During the test, different parameters are monitored and recorded, including the applied force and the corresponding elongation or deformation of the subject. This data is used to generate stress-strain curves that illustrate how the material responds to increasing tensile stress. Key metrics derived from these curves include ultimate tensile strength, yield strength, and modulus of elasticity. The ultimate tensile strength represents the maximum stress the material can withstand before failure, while the yield strength indicates the point at which the material begins to deform.
