Material Properties Investigations With the Use of Microspecimen

Article Preview

Abstract:

In the paper there are discussed possibilities of performing static and cyclic investigations of a material properties with the use of small size specimens. An original research system developed at the University of Technology and Life Sciences in Bydgoszcz has been used for static and fatigue testing. Thanks to tests performed on microspecimens it is possible, among others, to determine the material local properties in objects with the material discontinuities. This research provides exemplary results of fatigue tests carried out on microspecimens taken from a laser welded joint.
