Overview:

Material testing is a critical process that determines whether a product is reliable, safe, and predictable in function. Material testing is basically divided into two major categories: destructive testing and nondestructive testing. Destructive testing is defined as a process where a material is subjected to a load in a manner that will ultimately cause the material to fail. When nondestructive testing is performed on a material, the part is not permanently affected by the test. The purpose of nondestructive testing is to determine whether the material contains imperfections. Over many years, tests have been developed for measuring the common properties of engineering materials, including acoustical, electrical, magnetic, physical, optical, and thermal properties. But why is material testing so significant?
