Introduction to Metals and Alloys Testing
The malleability, ductility, strength, and temperature performance of metals and alloys make them especially suitable for structural and load-bearing applications. Engineers and scientists are working to create metals, alloys, and composites that are strong, light, long-lasting, and corrosion-resistant. These ferrous and non-ferrous metals and alloys are tested for their mechanical properties, chemical composition and metallographic properties. Other tests such as precision dimensional monitoring, nondestructive testing, fatigue testing, S-N curve, corrosion resistance testing, and environmental simulation tests are also done to ensure their quality and usability.Types of Metals and Alloys Testing
