Tensile strength
Maximum tension supported by a material as a tensile force is exerted thereon. Thanks to the tensile test, the tensile strength (fracture strength) and elongation and necking (ductility) are obtained.

DetailsTest sample
Piece subjected to various mechanical tests to study, for example, the resistance of a material.
DetailsTitanium
Chemical element that has a powerful deoxidizing effect. It also shows great eagerness with nitrogen and sulfur. As alloying element in steels, and in small percentages is used as grain refiner, and in low carbon steels the yield strength is increased. However, as a carbide former it reduces the hardenability.
DetailsTool steels
They are special steels that by their resistance, hardness and indeformability are suitable for the processing of other materials. Depending on their destination, these steels are classified into: cold work tool steels, hot work tool steels and high speed steels. Visit our tool steels
DetailsToughness
It is the ability of a material to absorb energy while being deformed before breaking. In every piece, prior to breaking or fracture, a pre-cracking phenomenon occurs, hence toughness is defined as the resistance to crack propagation of the material. The toughness obtained in a piece will depend on the chemical composition, the forming processes…
DetailsTraceability
Procedures that allow to know the history, the location and the application of one or several products along the supply chain.
DetailsTTT Curve
It represents the non-equilibrium transformations (pearlite, bainite and martensite) that can take place in the isothermal cooling of the austenite of an eutectoid steel. The influence of time and temperature on the transformation of austenite is indicated. In the vertical axis the temperature is represented and in horizontal the time in logarithmic scale.
DetailsUltrasound
It is a non-destructive test in which a sonic beam emitting high frequency vibrations is introduced into the material. The sound that travels through the material is reflected by the interfaces and is detected and analyzed to determine the presence and location of discontinuities.
