Experimental analysis of residual stresses using the hole-drilling method

Residual stresses are mechanical stresses that act on a material without the influence of external forces. They are caused, for example, by thermal cooling or curing processes.

HBM offers you:

• Selection of suitable measuring points: after analyzing the structure to be inspected, our service engineers work together with the employer to define critical areas and decide on the number and position of the measuring points.
• Accomplishment of the measurement using strain gages, special drilling machines and software
• Analysis of measurement data: after the measurement data has been analyzed, you will receive extensive documentation of the results, which you can use to optimize your development, production and quality control processes
