What is Material Testing?

Material testing evaluates the physical, mechanical, chemical, and durability characteristics of materials to determine whether they meet required performance specifications and operational requirements. These tests help manufacturers verify material quality, validate product designs, support compliance with industry standards, and identify potential weaknesses before products are used in real-world environments. Material testing is commonly used in aerospace, defence, marine, transportation, and industrial applications where reliability, safety, and long-term performance are critical.
