Mechanical and Thermal Properties by Destructive Methods
Mechanical properties
Tensile, compression, bending tests (at different temperatures)
Modulus of Elasticity E, Shear G, Poisson's ratio, Yield strength Re, Strength Rm and Elongation at break (A%), Compressive strength
Vickers, Brinell hardness measurement
Thermal properties
Dilatometry:
Coefficient of thermal expansion of the ambient at 1000°C
Measurement of thermal properties:
Thermal conductivity λ (W.m-1.K-1), thermal capacity Cp (J / (kg.K))
