RS TENSILE PVT IN DELHI Tensile strain is defined as the deformation or elongation of a solid body due to the application of a tensile force or stress. In other words, tensile strain is produced when a body increases in length as applied forces try to "stretch" it. The tensile strength of a material is the maximum stress that can be applied to it before it breaks. The tensile strength of aluminum alloys can be increased by special treatments. Because of their high tensile strength, these products are suitable for boring in drilling machines. 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.
