Bend Testing
Bend testing is a mechanical test method used to evaluate the ductility, strength, and fracture toughness of materials. It involves applying a force to a specimen to induce bending until a specified deformation or fracture occurs. This test is essential for understanding how materials behave under bending loads and is commonly used in quality control, material selection, and failure analysis. By applying controlled bending forces and observing the material’s response, engineers and quality control professionals can ensure materials meet performance standards and are suitable for their intended applications.
Purpose of Bend Testing
- To assess the ductility and toughness of materials.
- To determine the bending strength and resistance to cracking or fracturing.
- To ensure materials meet specific standards and performance requirements.
Standards for Bend Testing
- ISO 5173 : 2023
