Material Testing
Tensile, fatigue, hardness and microstructure work — evidence that the material is according to specification.
Virtual tour
Where the alloy is put on trial
Walk into the lab where a part has to prove itself. Tensile machines pulling specimens until they snap, hardness indenters pressing their mark into the metal, polished cross-sections glowing under the microscope. This is where the chemistry is read out and the numbers are written down — the hard evidence behind every qualification.
Testing areas
What the lab does
Qualification work, production QA, and the occasional failure investigation when a part surprises us — two ways of asking the same question: is this material what it claims to be?
Mechanical Testing
Tensile, Charpy V-notch impact and Vickers hardness — run to ISO and ASTM standards, accredited to ISO/IEC 17025.
Microstructure Analysis
Cross-sections and optical imaging to look at grain structure, porosity and phase distribution — with SEM available through external partners.
