Material testing and sample preparation
Material testing
Material testing involves investigating the behavior of material samples or finished components under mechanical, thermal or chemical stresses. MTU offers both static and dynamic material testing procedures.
You can choose from the following material testing procedures:
- Destructive material tests
- Thermo-mechanical fatigue tests
- Crack propagation
- Procedures for testing low cycle fatigue (LCF) and high cycle fatigue (HCF)
