University of Waterloo Solicits High Force Tensile Frame for Advanced Materials Testing

The University of Waterloo is seeking to acquire a High Force Tensile Frame to advance research in materials science and mechanical engineering under the Canadian Technology Accelerator for Digital Transformation of Manufacturing CFI grant. - Government Buyer: - University of Waterloo (Canada) - Products/Services Requested: - High Force Tensile Frame for materials testing - Must test cutting tool materials (e.g., high strength steels, carbides) - Must test gear materials - Capable of high deformation rates and high crosshead speeds - Supports research in welding, joining, and material characterization - OEMs and Vendors: - No specific OEMs or vendors are named in the solicitation - Unique/Notable Requirements: - Equipment must handle high force applications and advanced material types - System will be used for a range of research applications, including welding and joining - No part numbers or purchase quantities specified

Description

The solicitation is for a High Force Tensile Frame to support materials science and mechanical engineering research at the University of Waterloo under the CFI grant "Canadian Technology Accelerator for Digital Transformation of Manufacturing." The frame will be used in the short term for research into machining of gears, capable of testing cutting tool materials such as high strength steels and carbides, and gear materials. It must handle high rates of deformation and achieve relatively high crosshead speeds. In the medium and long term, the system will support research in welding, joining, and material characterization.
