Why Temperature Cycling Improves Your Products Reliability, Quality and reduces Costs.

The Temperature cycling (Environmental Testing) of your products increases your products quality and reliability and reduces warranty claims and customer dissatisfaction with your products. Temperature Cycling achieves this by stressing your products to remove any weaknesses during the manufacturing process in house before shipping to customer.

Temperature Cycling of your products in an Environmental Test Chamber subjects the product to stresses due to the changing temperature causing thermal stress on the materials that the products contain. The Thermal stress is created across the connections between different material types with some materials being heat conductors and some being insulators, this causes them to expand and contract at different rates, or not at all which causes the stress between the materials. This process helps to remove weaker  poorly manufactured components from your products and systems and highlights any poor manufacturing practices and increases the quality of the product and its reliability.

It is essential to temperature cycle safety critical components in a safety system used in automotive and aerospace systems that would have an adverse effect on the functionality and reliability of the vehicle. In all types of vehicles, it is most important to ensure the reliability and full functionality of components and systems in a wide range of temperature conditions that the vehicles can be subjected to during normal use to maintain safety and reliability.

By Temperature Cycling the products after manufacture, you also save costs involved in Warranty returned products as most faults will be removed before the customer receives your products. This not only saves the cost of handling warranty returns but improves your customers satisfaction and increases your customers purchasing of your products as they are proven to be reliable and your company becomes a trusted supplier.
