At TCR Engineering, our advanced metallurgical laboratory in Mumbai facilities are designed to meet the highest industry standards. We employ cutting-edge testing machines, including the UTM SHT 4016 and UTM FIE ALUTN along with extensometer, which support a wide range of force capacities, tailored for both small and large components.
Our capabilities include:
Force Capacities:
10 kN to 950 kN – Ideal for high-strength materials and components.
0.5 kN to 45 kN – Suitable for medium-load materials.
1 kN to 240 kN – Perfect for materials that require intermediate testing parameters.
Each machine is equipped with high-precision sensors and temperature-controlled furnaces to maintain consistent testing conditions, ensuring data accuracy even at high temperatures. We also offer customized setups to handle specific client requirements, adapting our capabilities to the diverse needs of various industries.
Testing Standards ensure that our results are universally accepted and provide confidence in material performance, enhancing safety and compliance across industries. We prioritize adherence to globally recognized standards to ensure reliable and consistent results. Our elevated temperature testing complies with the following international standards:
BS EN 10002 (Part 5) – Testing of metallic materials at elevated temperatures.
ASTM E21 – Standard test methods for elevated temperature tension testing of metallic materials.
ISO 6892 (Part 2) – Tensile testing of metallic materials at elevated temperatures.
IS 1608 (Part 2) – Tensile testing of metallic materials at elevated temperatures.
Types of Testing at Elevated Temperature
Tensile Testing:
Measures the strength and elongation of materials under high temperatures, helping to determine how materials deform or fail under stress. The Elevated Temperature Tensile Test by TCR is useful for understanding materials' behavior in structural and load-bearing applications exposed to temperatures ranging from 50°C to 1100°C.
Creep Testing:
TCR evaluates the slow deformation of materials under constant stress at elevated temperatures. Creep testing is essential for components that are expected to bear loads over extended periods, such as those in power plants and turbines.
Stress Rupture Testing:
TCR assesses the time it takes for a material to fail under a specific load at a constant high temperature, providing insights into long-term material durability under extreme conditions.
Fatigue Testing at Elevated Temperature:
TCR's expert fracture mechanic expert lab determines a material’s resistance to cyclic heating and cooling, which is common in high-temperature industrial applications. Thermal fatigue testing helps prevent premature failure in components exposed to fluctuating temperatures. TCR conducts Low Cycle (LCF) and High Cycle Fatigue at high temperatures for ABI Showtec, Bharat Forge (Aerospace), Bloom energy and other clients.
Applications of Elevated Temperature Testing
This testing is critical for industries such as aerospace, automotive, power generation, petrochemicals, and manufacturing, where materials are routinely subjected to high temperatures and must consistently perform under demanding conditions. TCR's Elevated Temperature Testing services are indispensable for industries such as:
Aerospace: For testing materials in engine components, turbine blades, and structural elements that experience extreme heat.
Automotive: In exhaust systems, turbochargers, and engine parts that require materials with high heat resistance.
Power Generation: For evaluating materials used in boilers, steam generators, and heat exchangers.
Petrochemical and Refinery: In pipelines, pressure vessels, and storage tanks that operate at high temperatures and are exposed to chemical stressors.
