MST Steel Empowers Automotive Industry with Breakthroughs in High Tensile Strength Testing

As detailed by Azom in their article “Testing the High Tensile Strength of Steel,” the automotive industry demands materials with enhanced strength to address environmental concerns and ensure collision safety. High tensile strength steel emerges as a solution, offering comparable strength to traditional materials while enabling weight reduction in auto bodies, thus improving fuel economy.

To evaluate the mechanical properties of high tensile strength steel, including tensile strength and elastic modulus, standards like ISO 6892-1 and JIS Z 2241 are employed. This article elaborates on a tensile test methodology compliant with JIS Z 2241 Annex JB, utilizing strain rate control to ensure accurate measurements.

To conduct these tests effectively, we employ cutting-edge equipment such as the Shimadzu AGX-V Series precision universal testing machine and the Shimadzu SSG-H Series strain gauge extensometer. These tools facilitate precise measurement of material properties and ensure adherence to testing standards.

The significance of high tensile strength steel in automotive applications is underscored by its role in enhancing fuel economy and promoting environmental sustainability. MST Steel’s commitment to advancing testing methodologies contributes to the ongoing innovation within the automotive sector.
