What is Aerospace Mechanical Testing at Element?
Aerospace mechanical testing – also known as destructive testing – verifies that your materials and components meet essential performance requirements. Using Element’s comprehensive mechanical testing methods and expertise, we subject your materials to various stresses that they might encounter during service – such as tension, compression, bending and torsion – to assess their performance, reliability and safety. Our reliable test data empowers you to meet customer requirements and make informed decisions around product development and the safety of your products.
