DIN 50106 is the German standard for compression testing of metallic materials at room temperature, used to evaluate strength and deformation in compression. To match this to your program, talk with our team.
What DIN 50106 Covers
It loads a metal specimen in axial compression to determine compressive strength and deformation behaviour, addressing the buckling and alignment concerns specific to compression.
How the Test Is Run
A short, well-proportioned specimen with flat, parallel ends is loaded in compression under controlled alignment, and force and deformation are recorded to obtain the compressive properties.
Why It Matters
Compression data complements tensile data for metals used under compressive loads; accurate alignment and square specimen ends are essential.
