Research & Development – Foundations for Innovation and Safety

We often become aware of our expectations for everyday products only when they are not met. The cause is frequently found in the design or in the material used, which failed to withstand the mechanical demands of real-life application. The result is a damaged component and a disappointed user expectation. The stakes are even higher when the mechanical strength of a part is crucial for the safety of people, animals, or the environment.

At TesT, we are committed to making a meaningful contribution in this field. With advanced measuring and testing technology, we enable the research and development of mechanical properties of a wide range of materials – from pure metals such as aluminum to alloys like steel. Our material testing machines play a key role in alloy and material development. They determine critical parameters such as tensile strength, yield point, elongation at break, and hardness – essential for evaluating the suitability of new materials for specific applications. For example, the properties of steel can be purposefully optimized through systematic testing of different alloy compositions – for instance, by varying the carbon content or adding chromium, nickel, or molybdenum. 

TesT testing machines thus provide the foundation for innovation, safety, and progress in research and industrial development.
