In the field of metals and alloys, mechanical tests are a fundamental step to ensure the performance, safety and conformity of the materials used in industrial processes. Universal testing machines allow the execution of specific tests such as tensile tests on tubes and pipelines according to ASTM A370 and ISO 6892-1, tests on welded materials according to ISO 4136 and ISO 5173, as well as tests on metal wires and alloys according to international standards.

Among the most relevant applications are also Charpy impact tests according to ISO 148 and ASTM E23, used to assess the impact resistance of metallic materials, and bending tests according to ISO 7438 and ASTM E290, essential for analyzing the ductility and quality of welds.

Galdabini machines also allow tensile tests at non-ambient temperature according to ISO 6892-2 and ASTM E21, simulating extreme operating conditions typical of the energy, automotive and plant engineering sectors.

Thanks to the integration of extensometers, furnaces at high temperature and advanced measurement systems, it is possible to obtain accurate data on parameters such as breaking load, yield strength and elongation. This allows laboratories and quality departments to perform repeatable tests that comply with standards, improving the reliability of materials and reducing risks in production processes.
