Universal Testing Machines For Metals
Tensile testing is the most commonly used test to determine mechanical
properties of metals. Electromechanical testing instruments are widely used
throughout the metals industry for evaluating important properties such as
Tensile strength, Youngs modulus of elasticity, yield strength, Poissons ratio,
elastic and plastic deformation, and strain hardening behavior.
Also many components such as springs, pipes, containers, etc. rely on
compression tests that provide data on force versus deformation. The
mechanical requirements for many metals are typically specied as tensile
strength, yield point, and % elongation in addition to other properties.
Other methods for testing metals include shear, bend or exure, impact,
fracture toughness, fatigue and torsion to fully evaluate those properties. To
evaluate thermal effects, metals testing is conducted at extreme temperatures
from -196C (-321F) to + 1000C (+ 1800F).
Common ASTM standard test methods for testing metals include: ASTM E8
Tensile Testing of Metals, ASTM E345 Tensile Testing of Metallic Foil, ASTM
B399 Plane Strain Fracture Toughness, ASTM E517 Plastic Strain Ration
(for Sheet Metal), ASTM E646 Tensile Strain Hardening Exponent (of Sheet
Metal), ASTM B565 Shear Testing of Aluminum Rivets and Rods, ASTM
E132 Poissons Ratio and ASTM E111 Youngs Modulus. In addition to ASTM
standards there are many other International standards such as DIN, ISO, EN,
JIS, etc. that can be fullled with universal testing machines.

Sample Preparation
www.WorldofTest.com/tensilkut.com
A test specimen is the most important
component of tensile testing for it determines
the actual physical properties of the material
being tested. The specimen must conform to
exact physical dimensions and must be free
of induced cold working or heat distortion.
Qualied laboratory personnel and accurately
calibrated tensile machines are important, but
the ultimate test results are based on the quality
and accuracy of the test specimen.
A highly skilled machinist, a precision milling
machine and considerable hand nishing can
achieve the required congurations of the test
specimen. However, the slow milling cutter
speeds create heavy chip loads and can induce
severe internal distortion to the machined edges.
The amount of induced cold working or heat
distortion cannot be determined by visual or
heat distortion cannot be determined by visual
inspection, hence test results often produce
erratic and inaccurate tensile properties.
Blanking Press and Grinding System - Our Specimen Blanking Presses are available in C-Frame & O-Frame Designs for punching metallic specimens
out of sheet metals with thickness up to 8mm. Blanking is the most efcient and economical method for specimen preparation. Also a High precision
Specimen Grinding System which removes the cold hardened edge within a short time and guarantees a high accuracy of the specimens, is available.
www.WorldofTest.com/blankingpress.htm
Tensilkut I Milling Machines - The Tensilkut I was designed for the specic purpose of preparing at metal or non-metallic test specimens. The compact
size of the equipment permits it to be conveniently located in the laboratory. Small table top units or larger oor mounted models are available to
accomodate any space and/or work volume requirements. The specimens are accurate to within +.0005 when prepared on the Tensilkut machine with a
Tensilbit and a standard or special master template. Optional mist coolant and vacuum systems are available for the Tensilkut I.
www.WorldofTest.com/tensilkut-1.htm
Tensilkut II Milling Machines - The Tensilkut II is an upgraded version of the original Tensilkut machine, developed in response to customers requests
for an enhanced, yet still manually operated, economical way to prepare tensile bars and other samples. The Tensilkut II is an enclosed machine which
includes integral misting, chip removal and motor speed regulation units. The chip shield around the control head protects the area around the unit from
debris, while the sound deadening package absorbs much of the noise of the unit. A series of power switches located on the front of the panel enables the
operator to easily access those accessories desired, while the emergency stop switch located on the machine cuts power to all systems simultaneously.
For added safety, the Tensilkut II is equipped with a foot-control (dead-mans) switch; the Tensilbit will not rotate unless the operator depresses it. As
with the Tensilkut I, the Tensilkut II is accurate to within +.0005 when preparing specimens with a Tensilkut master template and Tensilbit.
www.WorldofTest.com/tensilkut-2.htm
Specimens of light gauge sheet must be blanked,
sheared or die cut to the required tensile
conguration. The basic principle of shearing
causes severe deformation and distortion to the
critical specimen edges and creates even greater
variations and errors in the physical properties.
The ideal tensile specimen should duplicate the
pure basic metal or plastic being tested with
a total absence of tool marks, incipent cracks,
induced stresses, internal deformation or heat
distortion. Our range of sample preparation
technologies achieve these ideal requirements
and produce an almost perfect test specimen.

Metallography
www.WorldofTest.com/metallography.htm
Metallography is the science of revealing and evaluating the internal structures of materials. It is one of the most important
methods of materials research today, indispensable to the scientist as well as to the engineer. More recently, advanced materials
such as high tech metal alloys, ceramics, composites and polymers have appeared which made metallography become an
increasingly vital part of modern industry.
Through a process of cutting, mounting, grinding and polishing, a smooth surface is obtained to reach the materials true
structure. In order to achieve high preparation quality and reproducible results; a combination of Right equipment, Correct
preparation method and Right consumables which we call Total Preparation Solution, is required.
CUTTING
The rst step in preparing a specimen for metallographic or microstructural analysis is to locate the area of interest. Sectioning or
cutting is the most common technique for obtaining this area of interest. Proper sectioning guarantees minimal microstructural
damage. Excessive subsurface damage and damage to secondary phases (e.g. graphite akes, nodules or grain pull-out) should
be avoided.
Sectioning can be categorized into two areas: Abrasive Cutting and Precision Wafer Cutting. Abrasive cutting is generally used
for metal specimens and is accomplished with silicon carbide or alumina abrasives in resin or resin rubber bonds. Proper blade
selection is required to minimize burning and heat generation during cutting which degrades both the specimen surface as well
as the blade cutting efciency. Precision wafer cutting is accomplished with thin diamond blades. Wafer cutting is especially
useful for cutting ceramics and minerals as well as some metallic materials.
METACUT 250 and METACUT 350 cutting machines are designed for wet cutting of large and small, regularly or irregularly
shaped workpieces of metallic, ceramic or composite materials. METACUT 250 has the capacity to cut solid sections up to
90 mm in diameter. The cutting capacity of METACUT 350 is 130 mm. The side access port permits the sectioning of extra-
long workpieces. METACUT cutting machines are available in Automatic(A) and Manual(M) versions. SERVOCUT model is the
perfect choice for a wide range of materials and for heavy duty cutting applications. It combines the two well proven cutting
techniques into the same machine: Chop cutting: The specimen is clamped and the cut-off wheel approaches the specimen
via a rocker arm. Table-feed cutting: Feeding the clamped specimen into a rotating cut-off wheel using a slotted feed table. The
workpiece to be cut can be accurately positioned in 3 axis which is displayed digitally on the front panel.
Precision cutting is used for precise and deformation-free cutting of Metals, Ceramics, Electronic Components, Crystals,
Composites, Biomaterials, Sintered Carbides, Minerals, etc. MICRACUT Precision Cutter has its place in virtually any
metallurgical, geological, electronics, research, biomedical or industrial laboratory. The applications are endless. MICRACUT
family of precision cutters are available in 4 different versions.
MOUNTING
After cutting the specimen, the next step is mounting. The aim of mounting is to handle small or odd shaped specimens and to
protect fragile materials, thin layers or coating during preparation as well as to provide good edge retention. Mounting produces
specimens with uniform size so that it is easier to handle in automatic holders for further preparation steps. Basically, two
metods are available: Hot Mounting and Cold Mounting. In hot mounting, the specimen is mounted under heat and pressure
with a hot mounting press. Cold mounting is preferred for samples which are sensitive to damage from heat and pressure (like
coatings, PCB, etc.) Cold mounting resins are easy to use and require mixing which is then poured into a mould and allowed
to set.
We offer Hydropress and MetaPress Programmable and Automatic Hot Mounting Presses as well as VACUMET Vacuum
Impregnation Unit for cold mounting.
GRINDING & POLISHING
In order to obtain a highly reective surface that is free from scratches and deformation, the specimens must be carefully grinded
and polished before they can be examined under the microscope. Qualitest offers high quality instruments and consumables
for achieving this goal.
DIGIPREP preparation systems are designed for fully automated materialographic sample preparation for consistent and
reproducible specimen quality. DIGIPREPs Automatic Head controls the force applied precisely and specimens are prepared
exactly the same way everytime, independent of operator skills.
With the ability to store and recall preparation programs on the LCD screen, same consistent results are obtained. High level
of automation improves the efciency and gives the operator free time for other tasks in the laboratory. Efciency is further
increased by adding DOSIMAT Peristaltic Dispensing Unit for automation and control of consumable consumption.
FORCIPOL Series of instruments are available as Single wheel and Dual wheel Units (200/250/300 mm wheel size). Both
single or double wheel versions are available with constant, dual or innitely variable rotating speeds with digital display. This
allows the setting of the optimum speed for each individual preparation process. When the number of specimens to be prepared
increases, FORCIPOL instruments can be tted with FORCIMAT automatic head for automation. FORCIMAT automatic head
provides high rate of sampe preparation and frees the operator from the grinding and polishing procedures
CONSUMABLES
High sample quality and reproducible results can only be achieved with high quality consumables. Selecting the right consumables
for each specic application is not just a matter of preparation qualty - it is also the best way to save time and money.
Our cutting, mounting, grinding & polishing consumables for microstructural analysis are produced to match to your specic
requirements for high preparation quality. Choosen from a wide selection, designed and tested for use on Metkon metallographic
equipments as well as on competitive units.

Memory capacity of up to 99 tests, with storing the following values: Absorbed energy in Joules, Impact
value, 12 character specimen code, time and date for the test performed
Set-up menu allows to confgure the test modes such as the standard (ASTM, EN, ISO, etc.), The pendulum
type (Charpy or Izod), the potential available initial energy, display of absorbed energy or impact values,
specimen data as well as time and date.
The test results can be printed out upon request via a parallel printer. On the test certifcate the test
conditions, operators name, time and date can be inserted.
The test data can be transferred to a PC via RS-232 interface for further processing and analysis.
The Pendulum lifting edge measure is effected by a high resolution encoder mounted on the pendulum
rotation axis. The remarkable resolution assures the highest accuracy for the absorbed energy value.
Via a pushbutton on the console, the operator can activate the motorized lifting of the pendulum, which is
done by an electromechanical system with frontal teeth coupling. This solution assures friction-free operation
during the semi-oscillating movement with respect to the traditional clutch systems.
The pendulum can be automatically loaded and raised after each test which can considerably reduce the test
time. Also the pendulum unloading, by taking it to the rest position, is performed by pressing a push-button
on the digital console.

Resonant Fatigue Testers . Portable Testers
www.WorldofTest.com/fatigue.htm
Resonant fatigue testing machines can stress specimens or structures with a dynamic load superimposed to a static load.
The dynamic load is generated by an oscillating system (resonator) which runs in its natural frequency. The oscillating system consists of
masses and springs whereas the structure or the specimen which has to be tested is also part of.
The Resonant Fatigue Testing Machines get used to full resonance, i.e. the operating point is situated on the top of the resonance curve.
The resonator is excited by an electromagnetic system.
Taking advantage of the resonant effect, the power consumption is very low (typical 20 to 500 Watts), with the operating frequency in the
range of 50 to 300 cpm.
In combination with our Control and evaluation system and software, you can have an intelligent and easy to operate package for your
fatigue testing requirements.
Applications
Resonant Fatigue Tester Machines are very often used for fatigue tests (S/N - curves) or in the fracture mechanics for precracking and crack
propagation tests. This principle has many advantages compared to servo-hydraulic machines.
All types of tests with a high number of load cycles are benecial applications for resonant testing machines because of the high testing
frequency, and as a result very short testing time as well as very low power consumption.The additional advantage in comparison to servo-
hydraulic systems with its actuators, valves and pumps is that maintenance is not required due to the wear resisting construction.
The resonant testing machine VIBRRO-FORTE is the latest development. The design of the VIBRO-Forte 500 is based on a strict further
development of the resonant system MAGNODYN. An ideal solution has be found to test long shape components like fasteners,
reinforcement steel bars, etc. and round and at specimens. The changeable frequency range is between 50 and 160 Hz depending on the
stiffness of the specimen. Noteworthy is the low weight of a testing machine at this high capacity
Our Resonant Fatigue Testing Machines are available in the following congurations:
1) Mikrotron Resonant Fatigue Tester Compact version, for low load range 5-20 kN
2) Testronic Resonant Fatigue Tester Mid-Capacity version, for load range of 50-250 kN
