An impact bending test is a material testing method in which the mechanical properties of materials are tested by applying impacts and bends. This measures the material's ability to withstand impacts and bends. It is important to note that the deformation capacity of a material can vary under different stress conditions. Knowledge of the deformation behavior of the material is therefore an important criterion for material evaluation and selection. Our scientific staff at Fraunhofer IMWS has many years of experience in this field.
