RS TENSILE PVT IN INDIA Tensile properties were analyzed as a function of chemical composition, microstructural features, test temperature, and orientation. Results are shown as a function of carbon, manganese, and sulfur content. In addition, grain size and pearlite influences on tensile properties are discussed. 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. Tensile force is the stretching forces acting on the material and has two components namely, tensile stress and tensile strain. This means that the material experiencing the force is under tension and the forces are trying to stretch it.
