Ceramic Material Testing

Knoop and vickers are the only standard hardness testing procedures which are also suitable for hard materials 1000 hv like ceramics.

Ceramic material testing.

Ceramics testing characterization. Ceramics may reach a hardness close to 2000 hv depending on the material composition. Another accepted method of evaluating the mechanical properties of a ceramic is by a bending flexural test. The tests can be performed by three or four point bending tests.

Hardness testing procedure and test methods. Metallic carbides are one of the most important classes of ceramics. Testing and characterization forms the basis of any consultancy work that we do giving us. Some examples of ceramic materials analysis follow.

Spectro offers complete range of testing services for all the construction materials including the raw materials and final products as well as quality control services according to the national international standards. We offer testing of materials and products for raw material assessment product development quality control product and material evaluation conformity performance safety legislative and environmental impact purposes. Compression tests are more popular than tension tests since they tend to close pores cracks and other flaws resulting in higher test results than by those obtained by tension which tends to open rather than close cracks and microcracks. Measure thermal expansion rates often called cte as a function of temperature.

We have many means to identify problems and to suggest process or materials ingredient changes to our clients. Mostly the ceramic materials are the metallic oxides like zirconium oxide and aluminium oxide.
