Destructive materials testing

	Employing tension tests studies on materials as well as on welding seams are carried out, for instance in the context of process tests. Tension tests in the direction of thickness to test tensile strength (Z-Güte???) of sheet metal are carried out on specially-prepared samples. Longitudinal tension tests on welded objects serve to study filler materials.
	Hydraulic clampings allow a secure mounting of all materials (even high-strength steels). The maximum clamp pressure is 450 bar. Due to modern test equipment clamping of asymmetric specimens is possible.
	Bending tests on sheet metal and on welding joints serve to test sample workability. In the context of process tests, both crosswise bending and lateral bending test outcomes are studied.
	In the course of process tests, notched bar impact bending tests serve to test the quality of materials as well as the study of welding joints. Test within a temperature range of -70 degrees C (room temperature) are possible.
	Hardness test on different materials can be carried out under laboratory conditions and employing the usual methods, such as diamond penetrator hardness, Rockwell, and Brinell hardness tests. In addition, on-site mobile hardness tests are possible.
	In co-operation with the quality assurance section (process testing), the materials testing laboratory of SLV Mecklenburg - Western Pomerania GmbH also runs various types of tests, for instance on the welding of concrete steel, stud welding, and weldings of high-strength fine grain construction steels, etc.
	Weld bead bend tests according to SEP 1390 also belong to possible test work carried out by SLV Mecklenburg - Western Pomerania GmbH.
