GB/T 232 is the Chinese national test method for the bend test on metallic material test pieces, evaluating ductility in bending. To match this to your program, talk with our team.
What GB/T 232 Covers
It defines how a metal specimen is bent around a former to a specified angle and assessed for cracking, the GB/T equivalent of the international bend test.
How the Test Is Run
The specimen is bent in a fixture around a former of set diameter, then the tension surface is inspected. The result confirms the required bendability.
Why It Matters
Bend testing is a standard ductility acceptance check for Chinese metal products; a rigid fixture and correct former diameter are essential.
