High Temperature Mechanical Properties Test

The mechanical properties of materials at high temperature are very different from those at room temperature and have a significant relationship with the load retention time. Besides that, the performance of materials will be significantly affected by the changing of material structure and environment corrosive effect caused by temperature rising. High temperature mechanical properties testing combines furnace heating and tensile testing to evaluate the effects of strain and high temperature on material performance.

Test Capabilities

• High temperature creep: Determine the plastic deformation of the materials under long-term action of constant high temperature and constant load.
  • High temperature compression creep
  • High temperature tensile creep
  • High temperature bending creep
  • High temperature torsional creep
• Endurance strength: Determine the maximum stress that the material can withstand without fracture when it is subjected to a constant load at high temperature within a specified duration.
• Stress relaxation: Describe the stress reduction of a material over time while it is held in tension at high temperature.
• High temperature fatigue: Estimate the fatigue life of the material under high temperature combined with cyclic loading variation.
• Short-term tensile properties at high temperature: Check the thermos-plasticity of materials which work at high temperature for short time.
• High temperature hardness: Measure the ability of materials to resist plastic deformation at high temperature.
