EZ-3 Metal Cable Plasticity
Impact and Bending Testing for Metallic Materials
⭐ What is the EZ-3 Metal Wire Plasticity Tester?
The EZ-3 is a specialized machine designed to evaluate the plasticity, ductility, and deformation behavior of metal wires and thin wire ropes ranging from 1 to 3 mm in diameter under torsional loading conditions.
It is designed to detect structural defects, measure torsional resistance, and verify the quality of wire drawing and cable manufacturing processes.
The equipment is widely used in quality control departments, steel wire manufacturers, metallurgical laboratories, and certification centers, as it allows direct observation of how a wire behaves under continuous torsional stress.
