Mechanical and physical analyses: optimal insights for materials
What are mechanical analyses and why are they essential?
Mechanical analysis is a crucial technique that you can use to understand the performance and properties of materials. Through these analyses, companies in various sectors, such as aviation, automotive and construction, can optimize materials for your specific applications. Performing these analyses results in reliable, efficient and sustainable products.
Below are all the mechanical analyses that we can perform:
Why choose mechanical analysis?
Do you need to maximize the quality and performance of materials? The specialized analysis methods offer:
- Insight into material properties: understand the strengths and weaknesses of materials.
- Reliable quality assurance: ensure materials meet industry standards.
- Optimized product design: prevent defects and improve performance through targeted analysis.
How do mechanical analyses work?
The analysis process includes various techniques and equipment to evaluate a wide range of material properties:
- Mechanical evaluation: tensile strength, strain at break and elastic modulus are measured using tensile machines to determine the load-bearing capacity of materials.
- Physical evaluation: techniques such as SEM-EDX provide detailed insights into the microstructure and elemental composition of materials.
During the analyses, we focus on important properties such as:
- Strength and ductility: the ability of a material to withstand stress without deforming or breaking.
- Thermal and electrical properties: analysis of how materials respond to temperature changes and electrical current.
Applications of mechanical analysis in industry
Mechanical analyses are widely used in various sectors:
- Aeronautics and space: assessment and optimization of materials that are resistant to extreme conditions.
- Automotive: development of components that contribute to overall vehicle safety and performance.
- Building and construction: ensuring the structural integrity of materials used in harsh environments.
What does this mean for your company?
By investing in mechanical analysis, companies can achieve the following benefits:
- Increased product quality and lower failure costs
- Competitive advantage: Innovative and reliable materials ensure a stronger market position.
- Compliance with standards: essential for market access and customer satisfaction.
