Material Testing When materials show what they are made of

At the materials testing laboratory the Competence Center Mechanical Systems tests materials destructively as well as non-destructively for their response to static and dynamic loading. Component-level testing is used in addition to calculations and simulations.

The Competence Center is experienced in standard tensile strength testing (100 N to 150 kN), notched-bar impact bending testing (300 J to 450 J), fatigue testing, hardness testing (HB, HV, HR, shore, dentation), conductivity testing, coating thickness measurement, and micro-sections of metallic samples.

However, the Competence Center also performs more exotic tests. For example, testing of sandwich composites (bending test, climbing drum peel test), bonding adhesive tests (floating roller peel test, T-peel test, tensile shear test), relaxation test of rubber profiles or the determination of load deflection curves of springs.

Experiments on components with modern static and dynamic testing equipment support conclusions about loading capacity in a large range from 100 N to 200 kN. Bolt shear tests, pull test on snap joints, fracture behavior of façade mountings, durability testing of rubber rollers or bending tests of metallic hoses and bellows are only a few examples.

The CC Mechanical Systems offers our know-how for support during conception, implementation and realization of custom jigs and fixtures for specific testing tasks.

Competences and Focus Points
The materials testing laboratory provides quality services in the field of product and process development.
