Mechanical testing, also known as destructive testing, reveals the properties of a material under dynamic or static force. Designed to ensure that materials are suitable for their intended applications, mechanical testing includes methods such as tensile strength, compression strength, impact resistance, fracture toughness and fatigue.

Element offers a full suite of mechanical testing services for metallic andnonmetallic materials,以及组件和特种产品。Whether testing to a standard method or developing a custom program, our experts can provide you with accurate, reliable results for projects large and small.
