Capturing the Mechanical Behavior:
Slow Strain Tensile Testing 

Slow Strain Rate Tensile Testing (SSRT) is a mechanical testing method used to evaluate how materials behave under tensile stress at a controlled, gradual rate of strain. This process involves slowly applying tensile force to a specimen while monitoring its elongation until failure occurs. The reduced strain rate enables detailed observation of the material's deformation characteristics, including yield strength, ultimate tensile strength, ductility, and fracture toughness. This information is essential for understanding the mechanical properties and performance of materials in various applications, such as structural engineering, materials science, and manufacturing.

At Subodh, we conduct slow strain tensile testing for a variety of customers and applications.

What is SSRT used for?

SSRT is a screening method that can be used to study the susceptibility of materials to stress corrosion cracking. It can also be used to study the effect of hydrogen on materials.
