Tensile, bending and fracture testing

Tensile, bending and fracture tests are tried-and-tested methods for determining specific material properties, such as tensile strength and yield strength, or for obtaining initial findings on fracture mechanics.

The fracture test of a weld specimen is used to determine whether positional bonding defects or other inclusions are present in the weld. The examination of the weld specimen as part of the acceptance of a "welder's qualification test in accordance with DIN EN ISO 9606" is mandatory in the regulated area.
