Metallurgical and Materials Testing

The team of experienced metallurgists and engineers can undertake many routine and advanced tests which include:

Microstructural tests on ferrous materials

• Phase and Microstructure identification

• Grain size

• Case depth and depth of decarburisation

• Depth of surface defect

• Non-metallic inclusion content

• Graphite testing and certification,  and distribution in cast irons

• Coating determinations

Coatings including testing and assessment of:

• Conversion coatings

• Organic coatings

• Adhesion

Metallic Corrosion tests

• Corrosion cell tests
   
• Pitting tests and assesments

• Salt spray testing

• Humidity tests and environmental exposure tests

Field Testing

• Metallurgical replication

• XRF Material composition

• Hardness testing

• Ferroscaning (rebar detection, cover measurement and bar diameter estimation)
