Advanced Materials Testing Solutions
The Imprint Test, based on indentation plastometry and aligned with DIN SPEC 4864 and ASTM E3499, enables fast local testing of metallic materials without classical tensile-specimen preparation. It delivers yield strength and tensile strength close to tensile-test logic while remaining much closer to the real sample, the relevant zone and practical engineering decisions.
Fully automated mapping of strength profiles.
Automated i3D® systems capture many measuring points in a short time and support strength mapping across a surface.
Results within 60 seconds.
One indent can already provide usable mechanical data within roughly one minute.
High repeatability and comparability to tensile testing.
The method delivers repeatable results and stays close to tensile-test interpretation for yield and tensile strength.

Applications #ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING
Multisample screening for the development of alloys with fast available data.
In the early stages of alloy development, quickly accessible data, including mechanical properties, is often very helpful. It accelerates the process of development through close iteration loops, where steps between adjusting parameters and getting data are accelerated exponentially. Within approx. 1 minute, 1 plastic flow curves is measured.
Applications #WELDS
Weld seam examination. Testing of tensile strength, yield strength and ductility.
In the context of research work, weld joints were characterized for their mechanical properties in the base material, transition zone, heat-affected zone, and weld seam. Traditionally, the Vickers hardness test was used to measure local hardnesses with measurement points arranged in lines along the weld joint.
