Investigation of crack formation in welded forks of a forklift truck
Problem: In the test runs, the welded forks of a forklift truck were subjected to a pressure-swelling load test to simulate the alternating picking up and setting down of loads.
In the GWP Magazine, we regularly report in compact summaries on exciting topics and questions that concern us in our everyday work as a materials laboratory. We take a look behind the scenes of our work and show how we examine, test and optimize various materials. Whether it is the analysis of material defects, the development of new test methods or the solution of complex engineering problems - we share our specialist knowledge and offer valuable insights into the world of materials technology. Our goal is to provide both experts and interested parties with practical information and current developments in materials research.
