Mechanical Testing

Mechanical testing plays an important role in determining the strength, durability, reliability, and service performance of engineering materials. At GMETL, we provide comprehensive Mechanical Testing Services for Ferrous and Non-Ferrous Metals, Alloys, Castings, Forgings, Welded Components, and Engineering Products using advanced and calibrated equipment as per IS, ISO, ASTM, and other standards.

Tensile testing evaluates the strength and deformation characteristics of metallic materials. GMETL performs tensile and compression testing using a 1000 kN Universal Testing Machine (UTM) equipped with advanced data acquisition and analysis capability.

• Ultimate Tensile Strength (UTS)
• Yield Strength
• 0.1% / 0.2% / 0.5% / 1% Proof Stress
• Percentage Elongation
• Percentage Reduction in Area
• Load-Extension Curve
• Stress-Strain Curve

Bend testing evaluates ductility, flexibility, and soundness of metallic materials. Rebend testing evaluates the ability of reinforcement steel bars to withstand repeated bending conditions without cracking or failure.

The Charpy Impact Test determines toughness and impact resistance of materials. GMETL performs testing with ambient, low temperature, and cryogenic capability (up to -196°C) with capacity up to 300 Joules.

• Impact Energy Absorption
• Charpy Impact Value
• Lateral Expansion Percentage
• Shear Area
• Fracture Characteristics

Hardness testing determines resistance of a material against indentation. GMETL performs testing using Digital Rockwell and Brinell Hardness Testers.
