When Material Decisions Matter
Material failures rarely announce themselves in advance. A component that passed initial inspection can fail in service because the wrong grade was supplied, heat treatment was incomplete, or contamination went undetected.
The cost of a material assumption is measured in production downtime, warranty claims, safety incidents, and regulatory scrutiny. Independent verification removes the assumption. It provides documented evidence of what the material actually is—and whether it will perform as required.
Testing is not a formality. It is risk reduction with measurable value.
Our Capabilities
Metals & Alloys Testing Capabilities
Comprehensive testing services built around real industrial decisions, not academic demonstrations.
Chemical Composition Testing
Determines the exact elemental composition of metals and alloys.
Why it matters
- Confirms declared grades and specifications
- Detects wrong material usage or contamination
Typical use cases
- Incoming material inspection
- Supplier qualification
- Dispute and failure investigations
Mechanical Testing
Evaluates how materials perform under applied loads.
Why it matters
- Confirms strength, ductility, and toughness
- Validates suitability for service conditions
Common assessments
- Tensile and impact testing
- Hardness evaluation
- Strength verification against design values
Metallurgical Testing
Examines the internal structure of metals.
Why it matters
- Identifies defects, microstructural inconsistencies, and processing issues
- Confirms manufacturing and fabrication quality
Used for
- Weld and heat-affected zone evaluation
- Process validation
- Support for root cause investigations
Corrosion Testing
Assesses resistance to environmental and chemical exposure.
Why it matters
- Predicts material life and degradation behaviour
- Supports material and coating selection
Relevant for
- Marine and coastal environments
- Chemical and power industries
- Infrastructure and outdoor applications
Heat Treatment Verification
Confirms whether heat treatment has been correctly applied.
Why it matters
- Improper heat treatment leads to premature failure
- Verifies hardness, structure, and performance
Critical for
- Load-bearing components
- Pressure and safety-critical parts
Our Capabilities
