Material Testing
About Material Testing
Materials
testing is the measurement of the characteristics and behavior of such
substances as metals, ceramics, or plastics under various conditions.
The data thus obtained can be used in specifying the suitability of
materials for various applications—e.g., building or aircraft
construction, machinery, or packaging. A full- or small-scale model of a
proposed machine or structure may be tested. Alternatively,
investigators may construct mathematical models that utilize known
material characteristics and behavior to predict the capabilities of the
structure.
Why is Material Testing important?
The reasons material testing is important:
• Meeting requirements of regulatory agencies
• Selecting appropriate materials and treatments for an application
• Evaluating product design or improvement specifications
• Verifying a production process

• Quality professionals
• Innovators
• Anyone who wants to assess their materials testing skills
• QC or QA managers and senior executives
• Quality consultants
