Materials testing in Saarland – a look behind the scenes

Fracture surfaces of tensile specimens made of aluminum

In recent years, at our location in Saarland tens of thousands of tensile specimens manufactured and testedThe attached picture was taken by chance during a visit by Dr. Julius Nickl in our materials testing – it shows a small section of drawn aluminum samples.

These tests include parameters such as Tensile strength, elongation or necking They are crucial to the Quality of components Even the smallest deviations from target values ​​can provide important information – for example, Pore ​​nests, blowholes or an incorrect setting speed.

An example: Cooling iron in sand casting molds ensure faster cooling and thus a local increase in strength in the component.

With our modern CNC machines and several universal testing machines We are optimally equipped to process large sample quantities efficient and precise to consider.

👉 This is how we ensure that materials always meet the high demands of our customers.
