The basic uniaxial mechanical tests are performed using either the Zwick/Roell testing machine of 150kN (Fig.2), or the Instron testing machine of 250kN (Fig.3). Also, an Instron testing machine of 400kN (Fig. 4) is available in the laboratory. The bulging tests using different dies can be performed on the system ERICHSEN shown in Fig. 5. Deep-drawing and stretching through a circular active plate (with spherical or non-spherical punches) can be performed using a testing machine designed and manufactured in the laboratory.
