In aerospace, maximum lightweight construction and the highest material quality are crucial. Materials such as carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRP), sandwich structures, and high-performance metals must prove themselves in demanding, standard-compliant testing procedures. Hegewald & Peschke offers precise and flexibly configurable testing systems for this purpose.
Our universal testing machines with integrable temperature control chambers or high-temperature furnaces enable tensile, compression, bending, and peel tests on components made of aluminum, steel, or composite materials, depending on the design, at temperatures ranging from -70°C to +1200°C. Thanks to the expandable test chamber and T-groove plate, even large-format components can be tested safely and efficiently.

The Low Cycle Fatigue Test (LCF), High Cycle Fatigue Test (HCF), and Creep Test are crucial methods for evaluating the fatigue behavior and long-term durability of materials under thermal and mechanical stress conditions.
Carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRP), commonly known as carbon, are characterized by their high strength combined with low weight. These properties make them ideal for applications in aerospace, automotive, and sports equipment industries. The testing system is used to determine the mechanical properties of composite samples by means of tensile tests (e.g. according to ASTM D3039 & DIN EN ISO 527) and bending tests (e.g. according to ASTM D790 & DIN EN ISO 14125.
