Material Testing Laboratory

The material testing laboratory helps students understand the mechanical behaviour of different engineering materials under various loading conditions. The lab features experiments designed to evaluate various properties, including strength, hardness, toughness, ductility, and elasticity. By performing standardised tests on metals and other materials, students gain practical insight into material selection, failure mechanisms, and quality control practices. This lab plays a crucial role in linking material science fundamentals with design, manufacturing, and structural applications in mechanical engineering. This lab is equipped with the following major testing facilities:

• Universal Testing Machine (UTM)
• Hardness testers
• Impact testing equipment
• Fatigue testing machine
• Torsion testing machine

Students analyse properties such as strength, ductility, hardness and toughness, gaining essential knowledge for material selection, structural analysis, and component design.
