Design of tensile test specimens by wire electro-erosion cutting
Specialists in precision micromechanics for 45 years, we put our expertise in wire cutting by electro-erosion at the service of your needs in mechanical characterization of materials.
Wire electro-erosion cutting: the technology used for test specimens
There Wire electrical discharge machining (EDM wire) is the most suitable technology for the manufacturing of tensile test specimens high precision. This contactless machining process guarantees:
- A perfectly controlled geometry, regardless of the material being machined (steels, alloys, titanium, Inconel, hard or brittle materials)
- Tight dimensional tolerances, on the order of microns, are essential for reliable and reproducible mechanical testing.
- The absence of residual stresses related to machining preserves the metallurgical integrity of the useful zone of the specimen.
- The ability to machine complete series with exemplary repeatability, guaranteeing the consistency of your test campaigns.
Custom-made tensile test specimens: our capabilities
Our fully air-conditioned workshops and our continuously renewed machine park allow us to handle a wide range of configurations:
Geometries and standards
We produce test specimens conforming to the most common standards (ISO 6892-1, ASTM E8, NF EN 10002, etc.) as well as fully customized geometries according to your plans and specifications. Flat, cylindrical, miniaturized, or sub-sized specimens: each project undergoes a preliminary technical study.
Machined materials
Stainless steels, treated steels, aluminum alloys, titanium alloys, superalloys (Inconel, Hastelloy), coppers, metal matrix composite materials… Our experience in wire EDM allows us to easily tackle the most complex conductive materials, including those that resist conventional machining methods.
