Flexural Strength Testing

Flexural strength testing, also known as the modulus of rupture test or the bending test, is a standard method used to determine the strength and performance of concrete in bending or flexural conditions. It is an important test to evaluate the suitability of concrete...

Weldability of Structural Steels

If weld preparation is excellent and operator-induced defects (e.g., lack of penetration or fusion) are avoided, all the standard structural steels can be successfully welded. However, several steels may require special treatments to achieve a satisfactory...

Hydrogen Embrittlement

Hydrogen Embrittlement Hydrogen embrittlement can occur when metals are exposed to hydrogen gas or certain hydrogen-containing compounds. When hydrogen atoms diffuse into metal, they can weaken the metal’s atomic bonds and cause it to become more brittle and...

What is the reliability testing of steel?

Reliability testing of steel is a set of tests and analyses performed to determine the ability of steel to resist failure under specific conditions over some time. These tests ensure that the steel used in structures, machinery, and other applications is dependable...
