Common challenges in fastening torque
Believing tighter is always better, leading to over-torquing.
Ignoring lubrication effects, which can reduce the torque needed for the same clamping force.
Relying on uncalibrated hand tools, which can produce inconsistent res

Three-point vs four-point bend testing
In a three-point bend test, force is applied at a single midpoint. In a four-point bend test, two loading noses distribute the load over a larger section of the specimen.

What is elongation at break?
Elongation at break measures how much a material can stretch before it fractures. Expressed as a percentage of the original gauge length, it is a key indicator of ductility and toughness.

Introduction to breaking torque tests
Breaking torque testing, also known as torque-to-failure is a critical mechanical test used to determine the point at which a component or assembly fails under rotational force.
