The small punch test (SPT) was developed for situations where source material is scarce,
costly or otherwise difficult to acquire, and has been used for assessing components with …

Small specimen test techniques (SSTTs), developed for scarce materials, industrial
products, in-service equipment, etc., could be challenging to obtain sufficient materials for …

The small punch test is evaluated as a screening procedure for irradiation embrittlement of
reactor pressure vessel steels. In particular, the correlation between ductile-to-brittle …

Abstract The Small Punch (SP) test serves the screening of mechanical material properties
and their degradation in a virtually non-invasive way. It requires robust frameworks for the …

The hot stamping process has demonstrated its high potential to fabricate complex-shaped
automotive panel components with high strength AA7075-T6 (Al-5.37 Zn-2.18 Mg-1.25 Cu) …

Abstract The Small Punch Test (SPT) is a novel technique used to assess the structural
integrity of metallic materials. Currently, research relies on two popular approaches: the …

The evolution of mechanical properties and microstructure in FeCrAl alloys with added Y
and Si was investigated using miniaturized specimens. The FeCrAl alloys underwent warm …

Friction is an intensely studied feature in orthodontics, as the sliding mechanics approach
remains one of the most utilized techniques in current practice, and the question of whether …

The small punch test (SPT) can be recognized as an alternative to uniaxial tensile testing.
Many attempts have been made to extract tensile strength properties from SPT results, but …

Abstract In this paper Small Punch Tests (SPT) are used to determine the mechanical
properties of the heat affected zone (HAZ) of CrMoV welded joints and to evaluate the …
