yield strength test

[/jiːld ˈstreŋθ test/]
nounpl: yield strength tests
ensaio de limite de escoamento
1. A mechanical test that measures the maximum stress a material can withstand while still returning to its original shape after the load is removed; the point at which permanent deformation begins
The yield strength test showed that the steel alloy could withstand 250 MPa before permanent deformation occurred.
O ensaio de limite de escoamento mostrou que a liga de aço podia suportar 250 MPa antes de ocorrer deformação permanente.
2. A standardized procedure used in materials science and engineering to determine the yield point of a material under tensile stress
Engineers performed a yield strength test on the new composite material to ensure it met industry standards.
Os engenheiros realizaram um ensaio de limite de escoamento no novo material compósito para garantir que atendesse aos padrões da indústria.
This term is primarily used in technical, engineering, and manufacturing contexts in both Brazil and the USA. In Brazil, it is fundamental to quality control in industries such as automotive, aerospace, and construction. The test follows international standards (ASTM E6, ISO 6892) and is essential for ensuring material safety and reliability in engineering applications.
