Testing of high-temperature alloys has been notoriously difficult, they are often expensive, consist of rare materials and are extremely difficult to machine.

The HST'S HFT Series system is a highly configurable system and can be customized to suit many applications. The system can measure a range of physical and mechanical properties, including tensile, compression, creep, low cycle fatigue (LCF) and thermomechanical fatigue (TMF) properties of materials. In addition, it has determined resistivity, thermal expansion coefficients and phase transformations in a variety of materials including steels, titanium alloys and intermetallic alloys.
