Bending tests, Three-point or four-point bending test.
Determination of mechanical properties of materials.
Cyclic loads and fatigue testing.
Trials of different sensors on materials during mechanical loads.
Other tests ; Hardness testing on metals, Charpy Test, Heat treatment.
Load cell calibrations.
Operator and analysis of electron microscope images with EDS analysis.
Providing mechanical testing for manufacturing industries and oil-service companies.
