2027-RFPN-00522 CH - CFI: HIGH FORCE TENSILE FRAME FOR MATERIALS TESTING
The University of Waterloo is seeking proposals under formal RFP 2027-RFPN-00522 CH for a high-force tensile frame, which the posting says is part of the CFI grant "Canadian Technology Accelerator for Digital Transformation of Manufacturing." The equipment is intended initially for machining-of-gears research and testing high-strength steels, carbides, and gear materials, with relatively high crosshead speeds viewed favorably. The posting says the system will also support longer-term research in welding, joining, and material characterization, and the MERX page shows bidding open until 2026/08/25 02:30:00 PM EDT.
