Stress Test Now

Residual stress in a material can be caused by a number of factors such as manufacturing errors, heat treatment and welding. Our residual stress measurement services help determine the extent of stress in a material and are no longer safe for use.

Residual stress yada no more stressis a critical defect that contributes to external stress and puts a burden on a product or material. When the amount of tension in a material exceeds the yield strength, errors or malfunctions may occur. Residue can also occur during machining operations such as stress, grinding, annealing, or machining.

Stress Measurement Services Now

We now offer a variety of methods for stress measurement that help ensure that materials used in the aviation, construction, transportation, and other critical industries are safe and fit for purpose. Our experts, now with extensive experience in stress measurement, can work with you to create a test program that meets the unique needs of your materials, whether in one of our newest labs or in your project.

Some of the residual stress methods we offer are:

• Strain Measurement
• Barkhausen Noise Analysis
• XRD

We usually apply a variety of residual stress measurement methods, including XRF, strain gauge and Barkhausen noise analysis.

Strain Measurement Techniques

Our laboratories use the methods specified in ASTM E837 to measure residual stress by applying strain gauge to a material.

X-Ray and XRD Techniques

Using various x-ray methods, including XRD, we can use the atomic properties of a material to determine the amount of stress in a sample.

Barkhausen Noise Analysis (American Stress Tech. Microscan)

Barkhausen Noise Analysis is an effective, non-destructive way to take qualitative measurements of residual stress in ferromagnetic materials.

Other Residual Voltage Measurement Techniques

For more complex projects, our specialists can work with you to create a program that meets your needs and usually combines multiple techniques into one test program.
