Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a yield strength testing machine and method for aluminum casings of electronic products, and particularly to a yield strength testing machine and method for aluminum casings of electronic products, belonging to the field of yield strength testing technology. Background Technology

[0002] The equipment used for testing the yield strength of aluminum casings for electronic products is a microcomputer-controlled electronic universal testing machine. This equipment uses precision clamps to hold a standard "dumbbell" shaped specimen cut from the casing and applies an axial tensile load at a constant rate. The core of the test is the extensometer, which is in close contact with the surface of the specimen. It can accurately measure micron-level deformation in real time and automatically plot the stress-strain curve. For aluminum alloy materials without a clear yield plateau, the system automatically calculates and reports its key indicator—the specified plastic elongation strength (Rp0.2), which is the stress value when 0.2% plastic deformation occurs, according to national standards (such as GB / T). This allows for an accurate assessment of the shell material's ability to resist permanent deformation, providing core data support for product structural design and quality control. If the test piece is tilted during the testing process, it will cause errors between the test results and the actual situation, resulting in inaccurate test results. Therefore, it is urgent to improve the yield strength testing machine and method based on the aluminum shell of electronic products to solve the above-mentioned problems. Summary of the Invention
