Tensile test report (full length) Abstract The Maximum load, breaking load, percentage elongation and minimum diameter at fracture of Mild (low carbon) Steel, Duralmin and Copper were calculated by applying a tensile load to the respective specimen until it fractured. Copper and Steel were the most ductile materials because their percentage elongation and their percentage reduction in area were the highest. The Young modulus of Steel revealed that it is also a stiff material. The Duralmin was found to be the strongest material because of its high tensile and breaking strength. The accuracy of the results were satisfactory but they could have been improved by repeating the tensile test several times and taking an average. Introduction The tensile test is conducted to determine the basic stress-strain properties of a metal. The test is also used to measure the resistance of a material to a static or slowly applied force. The tensile test was performed on mild...
