How Is Yield Strength Measured?
Yield strength is measured through a tensile test, a controlled experiment where a sample of the material is stretched until it begins to deform plastically. The process involves plotting a stress-strain curve that helps identify the material’s yield point. This curve shows how the material reacts to increasing stress.
How to Design for Laser Engraved Aluminum Part Marking
Design considerations for laser engraving aluminum are similar to those for other laser engraving and marking types. We go into more detail on part marking design best practices in our guide to part marking, but here are some of the most important factors to keep in mind: Try to simplify your design as much as possible; complexity […]
