Portions of the forums may also be open and available to the public. Information and images posted to the forum may be used by DSI for internal or promotional purposes.

Please note: While DSI attempts to limit access to portions of the forums to members of the “Gleeble Community”, users should note that as the community grows it is possible that users outside of this community may gain access. There should be no expectations of confidentiality on the forums. Please do not share sensitive information on the forums. Dynamic Systems Inc. is not responsible for information that is shared on these forums.

Forum Management
DSI reserves the right to edit, move, remove and moderate posts as needed to clarify posts and maintain usability and accuracy for users. Moderators may include internal DSI staff as well as members of the extended Gleeble Community.

Additional rules:

1. Do not spam or self-promote in the forums - (unless otherwise instructed) These forums define spam as unsolicited advertisement for goods, services and/or other web sites or posts with little, no or completely unrelated content. Do not spam the forums with links to your site or product, or try to self-promote your website, business or forums etc. Spammers will be banned permanently and your posts will be deleted. Spamming also includes sending private messages to a large number of different users.

2. Do not post "Free " threads - Posting pyramid scams (such as free iPods, LCDs etc.) is forbidden. All such posts/signatures will be edited or deleted. Any users posting scams may be banned permanently; contributing users will either be warned or temporarily banned.

3. Do not cross post questions - please refrain from posting the same question in several forums. There is normally one forum which is most suitable in which to post your question. If you're not sure where to post, please ask a moderator first.

4. Do not post copyright-infringing material - Do not upload, attach, or otherwise post any copyrighted material which you are not free to redistribute (subject to the licensing terms of the specific item). If you have a question about having permission to post or attach a specific item, please ask a moderator. We do not condone nor accept posts pertaining to illegal activities.

5. Do not post "offensive" posts, links or images - Do not post anything which is offensive, hateful, racist, sexist, discriminatory, obscene, vulgar or in violation of local or international laws.

6. Remain respectful of other users, moderators and administrators at all times - All posts should be professional and courteous. You have every right to disagree with your fellow community members and explain your perspective.

General Forum Questions:
1. What happens if I break a rule?
If you break a rule, then you will either be warned or banned. A ban of your user account may either be temporary or permanent. While a ban will normally involve only a ban of your user account, in extreme circumstances, it is possible to block your IP address from the forums.

The administrators and moderators also have the right to edit, delete, move or close and thread or post as they see necessary, without prior warning.

2. What happens if I see a thread/post which has broken a rule?
Please report the thread/post to the moderators using the"Report to Moderator" link, which appears in the bottom of each post. This report will be sent to all moderators of that particular forum, who will respond to the incident as quickly as possible.

Dr. Mahesh Chaturvedi, Ph.D., FASM

University of Manitoba, Department of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering

“We want to understand what the fundamental causes for thermo-mechanical fatigue are, so we use the Gleeble to apply load and temperature, sometimes in sync and sometimes out of sync. The Gleeble can keep going for days, executing the same program again and again... it gives us excellent reproducibility.”

Damien Fabrègue

The Institut National des Sciences Appliquées (National Institute of Applied Science) de Lyon, Villeurbanne, France

this is the only piece of equipment that I can do everything with. I can always do what I want. It may take some time to optimize the work, but in the end, you can always run the experiment or do the simulation that you wanted to do.

Dr. Arnold Marder

Energy Research Center, Lehigh University

“What we are aiming at is intelligent processing. That’s where the Gleeble gives us a tremendous advantage. By allowing us to carefully simulate and model thermal and mechanical processes…”

Dr. Luis A. Colembergue Klujszo

Gerdau Aços Especiais Piratini

Through the capability of simulating large scale, expensive processes in a small scale, laboratory environment, the Gleeble has made it easier for Gerdau to improve products and processes. Furthermore, all the controls available in the equipment bring a whole lot of reliability to the results, making the conclusions very sound.

Dr. Warren Poole

University of British Columbia

"We had to generate all the parameters and then to validate the predictions that the computer model made… The Gleeble played a central role in that project. We did austenite grain growth studies, double-hit compression tests to study recrystallization, and continuous cooling transformations, with and without compression."

Dr. John Bowker

Former Senior Research Scientist CANMET Materials Technology Laboratory (CANMET-MTL)

"The Gleeble is one of the most heavily used machines at our lab... We have used and continue to use it for a broad range of thermo-mechanical simulation procedures. These include: welding applied to shipbuilding, marine materials, offshore structures and pipelines; compression testing to characterize the flow stress behavior of steels and aluminum alloys: and in situ melting and solidification to understand the effects of residuals on hot ductility."

Dr. David Matlock

Colorado School of Mines

Flexibility is the key to our extensive use of the Gleeble. It helps us to get maximum productivity out of the work we do

Tom Schambron, Product Development Metallurgist

Bluescope Steel

…world research and innovation are cornerstones of our business - the Gleeble is key to meeting the objectives of BlueScope. It assists in product development and improvement—such as trialling new steel grades, processing parameters, and so forth—and in tracking and solving of quality issues.

Dr. Brian Damkroger

Los Alamos National Laboratory

"Only the Gleeble is fast enough to allow us to physically simulate the thermal profile of electron beam welding”

Dr. Hans Peter Schmitz

ThyssenKrupp Stahl

“ In our labs, we do physical simulation… We try to reproduce as precisely as possible what is going on in the actual production lines. If you do it very carefully, you can transfer the result into the production lines, and you can use the results for building up numerical models."

Chihiro Kasamatsu

Material Evaluation Department Aichi Steel Corporation

“…we are concentrating on testing with the Gleeble to reduce costs in our forging production processes…”

Dr. Leijun Li

Utah State University

On the Gleeble we can not only control all the mechanical properties, but we’re in command of the thermal properties and the atmosphere. With the Gleeble, we can do complicated applications, watch what is happening, see the effect of temperature, and know how much energy is going in. It would take a lot more time and money to do it with equipment other than the Gleeble.

Dr. Hirowo Suzuki

Nippon Steel (retired)

“In my opinion, Dynamic Systems is the top company in this kind of test equipment… worldwide.”
