What is Advanced Material Testing?

Advanced material testing is a comprehensive evaluation process used to assess the physical, mechanical, thermal, and chemical properties of materials. Unlike conventional static testing, advanced testing analyzes materials dynamically, offering in-depth insights into their long-term performance, resistance, and durability.

Material testing typically falls into five major categories:

1. Mechanical Testing – Evaluates tensile strength, hardness, elasticity, and impact resistance.
2. Thermal Testing – Measures heat resistance, thermal conductivity, and expansion rates.
3. Electrical Testing – Assesses conductivity, dielectric strength, and insulation efficiency.
4. Chemical Resistance Testing – Examines corrosion resistance, radiation effects, and biological durability.
5. Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) – Uses X-ray, ultrasound, and SEM imaging for structural analysis without damaging the material.
