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
