This is one soundness test which examining the root penetration in a destructive manner. the fillet fracture test examines the root penetration for the entirety of the specimen. The test includes the potential failure points of the weld which are the stop and restart of the weld. AIM have decades of hands-on experience in performing mechanical tests.
9. Nick Break Test
The Nick break test is carrying out to determine the internal quality of the weld metal. This test reveals various internal defects (if present), such as slag inclusions, gas pockets, lack of fusion, and oxidized or burned metal. AIM comprises a team of professionals to do these mechanical tests.
10. Fatigue Testing
AIM Fatigue testing is a specialized form of mechanical testing that is performed by applying cyclic loading to a coupon or structure. These tests are used either to generate fatigue life and crack growth data, identify critical locations or demonstrate the safety of a structure that may be susceptible to fatigue. Here at AIM we have the in-house expertise to test in specific standards or specific client needs.
11. Proof Load Testing
The proof load testing measure the tensile strength and load capacity of the material based on elongation under force. These test requires the lift of a specific type of material such as rope or chain using proof load test machines. AIM provides you this proof load testing by using most advanced technologies with high quality test data and report.
