We will look at a very easy experiment that provides lots of information about the strength or the mechanical behavior of a material, called the tensile test. The basic idea of a tensile test is to ...

One of the most important tools, and perhaps one of the most confusing tools, for metallurgists is the binary phase diagram.

Ultimate tensile strength (UTS), often shortened to tensile strength (TS), ultimate strength, or Ftu within equations, is the maximum stress that a material can withstand while being stretched or ...
