Hot Twist Test

 In a hot twist test, a round bar is twisted in one direction until material failure occurs. The amount of rotation is taken as a quantitative measurement of metal forgeability. This test is often conducted on a material at several different temperatures. Other tests are also used in industrial metal forging manufacture. Impact testing is sometimes used to gauge the forgeability of a material.
