Stress/Strain Analysis

Providing proof of real-world performance

We want to be certain that what we cast meets your specifications 100%, under real-world conditions, without compromise.

We offer stress/strain analysis as another means of saving our customers the time and expense of doing it themselves.

PPF tests strength (tensile and yield) and ductility (percent elongation and reduction of area) providing you with a proof of functionality under various loadings.

The shape and magnitude of the stress-strain curve of a metal will depend on its composition, heat treatment, prior history of plastic deformation, and the strain rate, temperature, and state of stress imposed during the testing.
