Mechanical Properties Testing-NOA Testing & Certification Group

Mechanical Properties Testing

Mechanical properties of materials refer to the mechanical characteristics of materials when subjected to various applied loads (tensile, compression, bending, torsion, impact, alternating stress, etc.) under different environments (temperature, media, humidity).

Mechanical property testing is used as a key element in the evaluation of material properties in industries such as textile and apparel, shoes and bags, building materials, electronics and electrical appliances, industrial manufacturing, aerospace, rail transportation, automobiles and parts, and medical devices. Through mechanical property testing, we can grasp its use performance, so as to achieve the best economy; mechanical property is also the main basis for mechanical parts design and material selection, so as to provide guidance for product optimization design and scheme; mechanical property is also the key parameter to evaluate whether the material meets the corresponding standard requirements and protect the interests of customers in trade; mechanical property testing is also the key data for production process quality control and new material Mechanical properties are also key data for quality control of production process and research and development of new materials.

NOA has the capability of physical testing of various polymer materials, including density, hardness, tensile, bending, impact, compression, DSC, TGA, melt flow rate, low temperature embrittlement, heat deflection temperature, Vicat softening temperature, ash content, etc. Its testing methods cover the requirements of international standards (ISO), national standards (GB) and other standards, for the range of objects including PC, ABS, PP, PE, LDPE and HDPE, LDPE and HDPE and other materials. We can also provide a series of tests to identify and test the performance and process performance of metallic and non-metallic materials. The tests can help customers evaluate the mechanical properties of materials and identify weaknesses in the use of materials.

Q&A

Question 1: The most commonly used equipment for mechanical experiments is the universal tensile testing machine, tensile testing machine can be used to test which experiments?

Answer 1: Material tensile testing machine for metal (including composite materials), rubber and plastic, adhesive materials, tensile, compression, bending, shear, peel, tear, load retention, and other static mechanical properties of the test analysis and research, with stress, strain, displacement three closed-loop control mode, the requirements can be sought out force value, tensile strength, peel strength, bending strength, compression strength, elastic modulus, elongation at break, yield strength and other parameters.

Question 2: What are the common standards for metal hardness testing and what are the differences between each?

Answer 2: There are two main types of test methods for metal hardness testing. One type is the static test method, and the application of test force in this type of method is slow and shockless. The determination of hardness is mainly determined by the depth of the indentation, the projected area of the indentation or the size of the indentation notch area. Static test methods include Brinell, Rockwell, Vickers, Nurse, Wechsler, and Papertrey. Among them, Brinell, Rockwell and Vickers are the three most widely used test methods, and they are the main test methods for metal hardness testing. Another type of test method is the dynamic test method, this type of method test force application is dynamic and impact. Here include Shore and Richter hardness test methods.

Question 3: The size of the permanent deformation of compression is an important indicator to measure the sealing performance and shock absorption performance of rubber products and the length of service life, what are the factors affecting the permanent deformation of vulcanized rubber compression?

Answer 3: The factors affecting the compressive permanent deformation of vulcanized rubber are (1) the factors of rubber formulation, such as raw rubber species and additives species and dosage, both of which affect the cross-link density, which in turn affects the compressive permanent deformation; (2) the factors of processing, such as the dispersion of the compounding agent, the size of the cross-link bonding energy.

Question 4: Mechanical testing, how long after sending the sample can be issued a test report?

Answer 4: The regular mechanical testing cycle is 7-10 working days, if you need to make samples or need additional aging test, you need to consider the sample making cycle and aging cycle separately.
