Elasticity-, impact- and adhesion tests

Material testing machine - Zwick Roell Typ Z020 TE with temperature chamber

determination of mechanical specific value of different materials with and without temperature

  • determination of tensile and compressive stability of materials
  • determination of adhesion with foils in composite

Cylindric mandrel bending tester - Erichsen Modell 266

resistance against cracking after bending

  • bending the sample around a cylindric mandrel with defined diameter

Lacquer- and Paint testing machine - Erichsen Modell 202 EM

elasticity through slow deformation (cupping test)

  • the test tool is moving from behind forward to the sample and pushes it to the front
  • microscopic evaluation and noting the cupping value at the point where the surface show cracks

Impact tester - Erichsen Modell 304 ISO-1

resistance by impact stress

  • examination of adhesion, resistance and deformability of a coating after impact stress
  • a defined weight is dropped from a defined high to the surface (impact) or on the reverse side (Reverse-Impact)

Cross cut tester - MTV CC3000-1

resistance of a layer against separation from the substrate (adhesion test)

  • adhesion test by cutting through the layer(s) in form of a grid
  • evaluation of the percentage flaking of the layer(s)
