Abstract
Structural components, especially components having complicated configurations, are endurance tested for their creep resistance or strength in a removable massive metal testing block which encloses the component being tested in the manner of a mold. The mold type testing block is made of a high heat resistant metal acting as a susceptor in an induction heating system in which the testing block is surrounded by an induction heating coil. In this system the component being tested can be heated to high, highly constant temperatures which provides a substantial improvement in the creep testing results and reduces the cost of testing.
