Investigation of the properties and characteristics of components or assemblies is usually performed through static research tests such as sample analysis, research tensile tests, metallography, etc., and based on the analysis of the results, the metallurgical specifications of the sample can be determined.
However, in some cases where the performance of the component under actual operating conditions is considered, the results of these tests cannot fully represent the behavior of the component during its operation.
Research testing of component performance is regarded as the best and most comprehensive research test to ensure the correct functionality of the component or assemblies. But since the performance and durability of a component under real operating conditions require a long testing time, it is necessary to create specific conditions by designing fixtures and specialized research tests to conduct the research test in a shorter time, while the results still reflect the performance of the component under actual service conditions.
At the Performance and Durability Testing Laboratory of RMRC Metallurgy Research Center, it is possible to perform research tests on the performance and durability of a wide range of components and assemblies, and in addition, designing specialized research tests for performance evaluation and fabrication of necessary equipment and fixtures for conducting research tests is feasible.
Applying thermal and cooling cycles, pressure and stress cycles, evaluating the behavior and performance of components under static and cyclic stresses, applying different torques to samples and examining their effects, and measuring changes in physical and mechanical properties after different working cycles are among the tests that can be conducted in this laboratory.
