RS TENSILE PVT IN INDIA Tensile strength can be defined as the maximum stress that a material can bear before breaking when it is allowed to be stretched or pulled. The external force per unit area of the material resulting in the stretch of the material is known as tensile stress. Tensile refers to a type of external physical force applied to a material in a pulling direction away from its surface. Tensile typically refers to tensile strength or tensile stress. The tensile strength of a metal is essentially its ability to withstand tensile loads without failure. Ductility, on the other hand, measures a material's ability to deform under tensile stresses. This is an important factor in metal forming processes since brittle metals are more likely to rupture.
