Steel & Mechanical Materials Testing

Introduction

Sections made of various materials are rolled or drawn out of semi-finished goods such as billets or bars, and in many cases they are also welded from bar material. They are used in a vast number of applications, requiring a wide variety of mechanical tests. Together with the reinforcing steel and ribbed reinforcement bars (rebars) so vital to civil engineering they form a group of important structural materials, which in the case of concrete-reinforcing steel, are subject to regulatory control.
