Aluminum Tensile Test

This demo shows aluminum undergoing a tensile test. The video highlights the necking and Stress vs strain graph that occur during a tensile test to sample failure. Tensile or tension tests are simple, relatively inexpensive, standardized and commonly used to measure strength, yield strength and elongation. Results of tensile testing are essential for comparison of materials, quality control, alloy development, certifying the integrity of a product and reduction in area of non-ferrous materials.
