Routine Testing
Metallurgical, mechanical and chemical testing
is performed on raw material, semi-processed and finished parts to
determine compliance to specifications and quality requirements.
Our engineering expertise and evaluations can help provide better,
safer, and more reliable products, resulting in reduced costs and
fewer failures.
There are several benefits to this type of
testing:
• We can evaluate your product design requirements,
and then assist you in specifying materials and/or processes that
will enhance production or performance.
• We can evaluate current products to reveal
deficiencies and potential improvements.
• For new designs or existing products, we
can specify alternate materials that are better suited to the application
or alternate processes, which can reduce the need for more expensive
materials.
Routine testing services include:
Metallurgical Testing:
• metallography and microstructural examinations,
high resolution digital image analysis photomicrographs, photomacrographs
• rockwell hardness testing, ultra light
knoop and vickers microhardness testing down to 1 gram loads
• density and porosity
• reverse engineering
Chemical Testing:
• compositional testing to determine alloy
identification verification of compositional specifications
• identification of platings, particles,
coatings, and residues
• lead and cadmium testing
Mechanical Testing:
• tensile and compression testing
• torque testing
• cycle testing
