Material Characterization & Fatigue Testing Services

Material characterization and fatigue testing

The Advanced Materials Characterization & Test facility (AMCT) is operated by HBM Prenscia located in Rotherham, United Kingdom. Conducting materials testing for over a two decades, the AMCT facility is focused on providing customers with fully characterized and interpreted material parameters ready for use in mechanical FEA or fatigue analysis.

Its range of materials testing services include materials assurance, material characterization, and specialized testing projects. The AMCT facility offers a unique combination of in-house expertise and state-of-the-art equipment, delivering results that enable its customers to achieve real cost reduction, meet environmental targets, and increase confidence in product durability.

Services offered:

All material testing services are performed at the ISO 9001 certified Advanced Materials Characterization & Testing Facility (AMCT) operated by HBM Prenscia. All test equipment is calibrated to United Kingdom Accreditation Services (UKAS) standard by accredited bodies.

Improved Accuracy of Fatigue Life Prediction through Material Testing

 

Reducing cost through both material selection and modern manufacturing processes has become an essential requirement in many industries today to ensure that products can be brought to market quicker. A critical element in product development is the ability to accurately predict the fatigue life of an engineering component, since to achieve a reduction in weight often requires the use of new high performance materials.

 

Material properties are a major source of variability and must be understood in order to avoid poor performance whilst in-service. Understanding how and when damage will occur in these lightweight components’ and combining this with accurate predictions is imperative in order to ensure the component’s quality requirements and structural integrity are not compromised. Material data provided from accurate tests are a vital part of understanding how damage accrues as predictions are only as valid as the data upon which they are based. An understanding of residual stresses and the input material condition when combined with the fatigue damage accumulation should enable more reliable material data with less conservatism to be acquired.
