Laboratory Test Results: Durability Performance of High-Strength Alloy Formwork
When investing in aluminum formwork, durability directly impacts project efficiency and long-term cost savings. Shoulv Alu Formwork’s high-strength alloy systems have undergone rigorous laboratory testing to validate their performance under extreme conditions. The results confirm exceptional strength, fatigue resistance, and structural stability, making Shoulv the ideal choice for demanding construction environments.

Unmatched Load-Bearing Capacity
In static load tests, Shoulv’s high-strength alloy formwork demonstrated a maximum failure load of approximately 170 kN/m², with panel deformation measuring only 19.1 mm at peak stress. This exceptional capacity ensures reliability in heavy-load applications such as high-rise cores and bridge piers. The minimal displacement under high loads highlights the material’s ability to maintain structural integrity, reducing risks during concrete pours.

Superior Fatigue Resistance
Fatigue testing reveals that Shoulv’s alloy retains high strength over repeated cycles. Under stress ratios of 0.1, the alloy’s S-N curve (stress-cycle curve) shows consistent performance, with fatigue strength surpassing conventional alloys like 6061-T6. This resilience translates to a longer service life—capable of hundreds of reuse cycles—without compromising safety or precision.

Precision Engineering for Real-World Demands
Testing identified maximum stress concentrations at the side ribs and minimal strain at the back corrugated ends. Shoulv’s design optimizes these critical areas, incorporating reinforced edges and patented connections to distribute loads evenly. This engineering minimizes deflection during pouring, ensuring consistent concrete surface quality and reducing the need for post-processing.

Corrosion and Wear Resilience
Shoulv’s alloy undergoes advanced surface treatments, including protective coatings that enhance corrosion resistance. These treatments, validated through prolonged exposure tests, prevent degradation in humid or chemically aggressive environments. The formwork’s durability remains intact across temperature variations, supporting use in diverse climates.

Conclusion: Build on Proven Performance
Shoulv Alu Formwork’s laboratory-verified durability ensures projects meet deadlines safely and within budget. By choosing Shoulv, contractors invest in formwork that combines high load capacity, fatigue resistance, and engineered precision—delivering value cycle after cycle.
