High tensile strength is the maximum stress that the material can withstand without breaking during tension or stretching. Some materials will get brittle failure in which the particle-by-particle conditions break sharply. While some other materials undergo some deformation before finally fracturing. The tensile strength of a material is the most important thing. It can be a measurement indicator for structural applications.
Do you know that high tensile strength plastics can replace metals in many applications? Our high quality plastic or fiberglass can even reduce weight and cost without compromising performance quality.

High Tensile Strength in Various Industries
High tensile is a tensile strength that ranges from 1235 to 1450 megapascals. It must exist in every manufacturer in any industry. The testing has always been a routine schedule in various industries such as aerospace, military, automotive, construction, agriculture, livestock, and household appliances.
High tensile strength applies from the surface strength of a frying pan in your kitchen to the strength of metal or fiberglass materials in airplane and car bodies. There are at least four properties that fall into the criteria for high tensile strength testing.
- Tensile strength to see how well a material holds up when pulled apart.
- Compressive strength to see how well a material holds up when squashed together.
- Strength results to see how well the resistance of rods or beams of material to bending and permanent damage.
- Impact strength to see the resistance of a material to withstand collisions with other objects or surfaces.
How the Tensile Test Works
High tensile strength is simply like this. Suppose you hold a piece of rope at both ends and then try to release it. The rope will get a certain tension. A rope with high tensile strength will not remain intact, while a rope with a low tensile strength is likely to break.
You can also see how the tensile test worked on the swing rope when the rope material for this swing must be able to withstand the heavy load of the person occupying the swing. The strength of this rope must be able to make the swing not detached when moving in the wind.
In the military industry, we know high tensile strength from bulletproof cloth, which, when a bullet hits it, the cloth will stretch across the impact area to ward off bullets. If the cloth is unable to withstand tension or has low tensile strength, it will tear when the bullet hits it.
Tensile test through the material testing laboratory measures the level of strength of a material. The environment for carrying out this test must be kept at a temperature and protected from exposure to dirt. A Universal Testing Machine (UTM) holds the specimen material in place and applies the necessary tensile stress to check the breaking point.
The item on the test list is usually a round rod with big shoulders at both ends. The universal testing machine can also grip the test material during the application of tensile stresses. Next, the change in the length of the test object will be measured using equipment connected to an extensometer. The amount of resistance of the material is determined by the ratio of strength to weight when the material receives tensile stress.
High Tensile Strength Applications
All sides around us need high tensile strength material to be able to maintain the work of a field to remain consistent. The products will always be useful in many applications.
- Automotive industry. Materials with high tensile strength greatly determine the safety of the driver. The breaking strength of seat belts is an important consideration in the manufacture of vehicles.
- Plastic and rubber industry.
- Aerospace and aviation industry. The tensile strength of adhesive bonds, cables, carpets, hoses, seat belts, gaskets, and harnesses in aviation products must be high for the safety of passengers. People in the aviation industry choose fiberglass as a part of their plane constructions. Fiberglass is light and flexible. It’s profitable for the aviation business because lightweight materials can reduce fuel consumption. Additionally, quartz fiber is important in the aerospace construction.
- Electrical industry. Connectors, printed circuit boards, and electrical cables use high tensile material because of their strength which will be of superior quality to other competitors.
You can find materials with high tensile strength in companies that focus on the production of ultra-high materials. Silicapro factory manufactures fiberglass, aerogel, microporous nano board, and high silica needle felt, which are well accepted by the market. Our company focuses on industrial ultra-high temperature special fiber technology and is committed to the development and production of high silicon fiberglass series products.
