Metallurgical laboratory for certification compliance
Laboratory technicians include doctorate-degree research scientists who develop unique surface coatings to combat the effects of corrosion, erosion, wear, abrasion and thermal fatigue on many base material. In-house capabilities include:
- sample / coupon preparation
- microscopy evaluation
- surface profile readings
- bond line contamination
- micro-hardness
- digital imaging
- surface visual comparators for cleanliness and/or contamination
- adhesion tests for bond and tensile strength
- micrographic cross-section evaluation using image analysis software
Our metallurgical laboratory tests and certifies components and repairs to ensure conformance to relevant standards. Metallurgical testing to international standards include:
- ASTM C633
- ASTM E384
- ASTM E1920
- ASTM E2109
- J442
