A new tensile machine has been put into operation at the PZPS

The PZPS has recently put into operation a modern tensile machine designed to determine the mechanical characteristics of materials. This significant upgrade in laboratory infrastructure has opened up new opportunities for accurate analysis and evaluation of materials, which is especially important for maintaining high quality. manufactured products.

The mechanical properties of materials: why it matters

Mechanical characteristics determine how the material will behave under the influence of various loads and external factors. Based on these characteristics, designers select suitable alloys for various industrial and engineering projects.

The main properties that are to be measured include:

1. Elastic modulus (Young's modulus) — a value that shows the ability of the material to return to its original shape after elastic deformation (compression, tension).
2. Strength limit — the maximum tensile stress that the material can withstand before breaking.
3. Yield strength — the stress at which the material begins to deform plastically. When the yield strength is reached, irreversible changes occur in crystal lattice alloy or steel.
4. Relative elongation after rupture — the amount of deformation of the material during the test.

These properties allow engineers and designers to effectively select steels and alloys that will be durable, reliable and safe under planned conditions operating loads.

The capabilities of the new tensile machine

The new PZPS tensile machine significantly expands the range of tests and analyses available. It can be used to carry out the following measurements:

• elastic modulus;
• the limit of proportionality and deformation at this limit;
• physical yield strength and deformation during it;
• the yield strength is conditional;
• temporary resistance (tensile strength);
• maximum force and deformation at maximum force;
• conditional destructive stress;
• destructive force and deformation under destructive force;
• relative elongation after rupture.

The new machine software also supports the construction of test diagrams in various coordinates, such as “force-strain”, “force-displacement”, “stress-strain”, and “stress-displacement”. This makes it possible to carry out tests in cycling mode, until a predetermined deformation or until a certain sample loading force is reached.

PZPS production: specialized precision alloys

The tensile machine is especially important for testing materials produced at PZPS, including:

• Precision alloys for elastic elements: 40KHNM, 36NHTYU, 17HNGT.
• Corrosion resistant steels: 12X18H10T, 12X18N9, 12X18N9SMR, 10X17N13M3T.
• Precision alloys with high electrical resistance: X15YU5, X23U5, X23YU5T, X20N80N, X15N60N.
• Precision alloys with specified TCLR: 29NK, 36N, 42N.
• Springed and tool steels: 60S2A, 65G, 70, 70S2HA, U8A, U10A.
• Heat-resistant and heat-resistant alloys: HN78T, 20X13, as well as alloys similar to Inconel 625, Inconel 718 and Inconel C-276.

The production of these materials requires careful analysis and quality control. The new tensile machine effectively performs the task and makes it possible to carry out all necessary checks with high accuracy.
