Tensile testing
Clamping materials and applying weights.
Toughness testing
Clamped, hit with a hammer
Hardness
Centre punch/ dot punch
Malleability
Clamp and then try to bend
Corrosion
Leave exposed to an element such as water or the sun
Conductivity
Multimeter or thermometer
Tensile testing
Tensometer
Clamp either end, stretch
Toughness testing
Izod impact test
Hardness testing
Rockwell - diamond indenter - datum or reference position
Brinell - steel ball - diameter of indent measured
Vickers - diamond square based pyramid - microscope measures
Ductility
Bend test
Non/ destructive testing
Not destructive
Ultrasonic
Sound waves
Cracks are picked up
X-ray testing
Check for cracks
