GLEEBLE SYSTEMS: LEADING THERMO-MECHANICAL SIMULATORS FOR ADVANCED MATERIALS TESTING
The Gold Standard in Thermal-Mechanical Physical Simulation Since 1957
Transform your materials development and manufacturing processes with Gleeble’s precision thermo-mechanical physical simulation technology. Originally developed by Dr. Hugo Ferguson, Dr. Warren Savage, and Dr. Ernest Nippes to simulate the heat-affected zone of arc welding, Gleeble® systems have evolved into the industry standard for high-fidelity physical simulation. Today, they deliver unparalleled accuracy in ultra-high-temperature testing through direct resistance heating, and controlled thermal-mechanical loading for metals, alloys, and advanced materials. Researchers and manufacturers worldwide rely on Gleeble for accurate, repeatable physical simulation across the full materials development lifecycle.

WHAT IS PHYSICAL SIMULATION?
Physical simulation is the exact reproduction of the thermal and mechanical processes in the laboratory that a material is subjected to during the manufacturing process or end use. Physical simulation is a valuable tool used to study metallurgical processes, develop new materials and replicate real world conditions in the laboratory.
- Lower Costs - Reduce product development, processing & energy costs
- Optimize Manufacturing Processes - Develop new procedures & troubleshoot existing processes
- Optimize Materials - Develop new materials and applications
