What is the purpose of tensile test in metal forming & double cup extrusion?
The tensile test is one of the most comprehensive methods in materials testing. From pulling apart a single sample, many material properties can be deduced, such as: Stiffness (elastic modulus) Yield Strength (closely correlated to the hardness) Ultimate Tensile Strength Elongation (deformation before fracture) Each of these properties is important to determining the parameters during metal forming.
