Mechanical testing laboratory
Clients and universities can use the CSIR mechanical testing laboratory for mechanical-properties testing of metallic materials, ceramic materials and powder compacts, with polymers, glass and composites also tested depending on the scope of work.
The facility started as a support unit for research and development in light metals but has, over the years, extended its services to support local and international clients. South African universities now also regularly use the facility for specialised tests.
