Extract full stress–strain curves directly from complex components, welds, and sections as thin as 0.75 mm / 0.03 inches that conventional tensile testing cannot characterise.
The MultiScale capability for the PLX-Benchtop enables non-destructive mechanical testing on thin samples with high-resolution property mapping.
Simplified surface preparation, followed by a 30-minute per quadrant test, delivers quick results, while 2-day training gets your teams up and running fast.
The PLX-Portable has set a new industry standard, with record MAPE values for yield and tensile strength.
Results are generated straight from the dig site, with report-ready data available immediately and accessible from anywhere via cloud-based platform.
Obtaining mechanical property data from welds, thin sheets, and complex geometries often falls beyond the reach of conventional testing methods. The PLX-Benchtop MultiScale capability closes that gap, providing reliable, reproducible data, richer material insights, and efficient workflows.
With a choice of indenter sizes, the MultiScale capability generates stress-strain curves from samples as thin as 0.75 mm, enabling testing that was previously impossible.
Indents can be spaced as close as 1.5 mm / 0.06 inches apart, allowing property mapping across welds and complex parts, revealing variations that tensile testing may miss.
Enjoy the speed and ease of hardness testing without the ambiguity, with 5-minute physics-based tests that deliver defensible, mechanical property data.
The PLX-Benchtop MultiScale capability operates across three indenter scales: 250 µm, 500 µm, and 1000 µm, capturing mechanical behaviour at a variety of scales. The 1000 µm indenter comes standard in every PLX-Benchtop system.
Access the 250 µm and 500 µm indenters through your CORSICA+ subscription to gain access to advanced inverse-modelling, higher-resolution mapping, and deeper material insight, all from the same PLX system.
