    Tensile Testing Lab Report

    The document reports on a tensile test of an aluminum sample. It provides tables with the initial and final dimensions of the sample gage as well as the recorded loads and elongations during testing. The initial gage diameter was 0.499 inches with a length of 2 inches. After testing, the final gage diameter at the neck was 0.351 inches with a length of 2.31 inches. The sample fractured at a load of 6,700 lbf with an elongation of 0.31 inches. Calculations determine the sample had approximately 29.66% area reduction and 15.5% elongation, indicating the material is relatively ductile with an ultimate tensile strength of around 9,100 lbf.

    % Elongation = (L -L )/L
    f 0 0

    [(2.13in. 2.00in.)/2.00in. = .1550]

    % Area Reduction = (A -A )/A


    f 0 0

    [|.351in. .499in.|/.499in. = .2966]


    The aluminum material that was tested had an area reduction of approximately 29.66% and an
    elongation of 15.50%. This result shows that the material is relatively ductile. The materials
    ultimate tensile strength was observed to be approximately 9,100 lbs., which is a relatively low
    mark for a metal sample.
