What Is Destructive Testing (DT)?
Destructive testing evaluates a material's or welded joint's mechanical strength, ductility and internal structure by testing a specimen under controlled conditions. Through tensile, hardness, impact, bend, fracture, macro-micro, corrosion and chemical analysis methods, the material's real performance is certified to international standards.
