Material testing is an integral part of the thermoplastic manufacturing process and is extensively used in the industry. There are three common measurement types: Melt Flow Index, Melt Flow Rate, and Melt Volume Rate. The Melt Flow Index (MFI) is […]
Within the broad field of material testing, Universal Testing Machines (UTMs) have become an integral tool, serving many industries by verifying the integrity and performance of materials. Currently, the market offers a large selection of UTMs, each featuring distinct characteristics […]
Pendulum impact testers are tools in material testing, used to determine the impact strength or toughness of a material under impact loading by determining the amount of energy that can be absorbed by the material. This provides insights into its […]
Ceramics stand out for their exceptional properties, including high hardness, thermal stability, and resistance to wear and corrosion. These qualities make ceramics indispensable in many industries, including the electronics, aerospace, automotive, and biomedical industries. The application of ceramics ranges from […]
Material corrosion is a natural process that deteriorates metals and other materials due to chemical reactions with their environment. This leads to large material losses and failures. This phenomenon is primarily driven by electrochemical processes, occurring when materials react with […]
The aerospace industry, which includes the design, manufacturing, and maintenance of aircraft and spacecraft, continues to grow at a rapid pace. In 2023, the global aerospace and defense market size expanded significantly, forecasting further growth from $884 billion in 2023 […]
Thermoplastics are a type of plastic material known for their ability to melt and be remolded without affecting their physical properties. They are versatile, and are commonly used in many applications including everything from packaging and consumer products to automotive […]
NF (Norme Française) standards are guidelines and requirements developed by AFNOR (Association Française de Normalisation), the French standardization organization. These standards are designed to ensure the quality, safety, and performance of materials and products in many different industries. When it […]
Rubber and, thus, rubber testing, have become widespread in the modern world. Rubber demand is continually growing, with the International Rubber Study Group forecasting a rebound of 2.6% in 2023, reaching an estimated 30.64 million tonnes. Look around, and you […]
In an ideal world, towering skyscrapers, expansive bridges, and critical infrastructure would stand the test of time and nature’s fury without fail. It may be possible. The basis of this vision is the principle of reliable soil testing, where precision […]
