Tensile testing is a method used to determine the mechanical properties of materials, particularly their strength and ductility. In this test, a sample material is pulled apart until it breaks, allowing engineers to measure how much force the material can withstand and how much it can stretch. The results help in understanding how materials behave under tension, which is crucial for applications in construction, manufacturing, and product design. During tensile testing, key parameters such as yield strength, ultimate tensile strength, and elongation are recorded. These measurements provide valuable insights into the material's performance and suitability for specific applications, ensuring safety and reliability in various industries.
