Testing Metals Ensure Performance of Your Metal Products
Metals testing is generally required to certify that raw materials, products and component parts meet performance requirements, safety standards or industry specifications before being placed into service. Laboratory Testing Inc. specializes in testing metals to determine susceptibility to corrosion, to analyze elements and confirm materials, to identify microscopic features and flaws, and to verify material properties with mechanical testing. Relying on our accredited laboratory for testing metals will let you know you are working with quality materials that can meet the needs of your applications. Should the need arise, we can research failures to determine their root cause so you can make the necessary adjustments. Whatever your need, our services for testing metals will give you reliable information and answers that are documented in detailed Certified Test Reports.
-
Characterizing Materials
Chemical testing includes trace element analysis and material characterization using various instrumental methods such as spectroscopy and classical wet chemistry.
-
Evaluating Mechanical Properties
Mechanical testing methods such as tensile, bend, impact, hardness and stress rupture testing provide valuable information on material properties.
-
Micro and Macro Examinations
Metallurgical analysis uses magnification to examine the structure of samples in order to evaluate features, characteristics and defects. Digital imaging produces documented results.
-
Examination for Flaws and Defects
Nondestructive testing detects surface and sub-surface defects without harmingmaterial or products. Testing is also provided for inspecting the quality of welds and welder qualification.
-
Corrosion Analysis
Testing metals for susceptibility to corrosion or passivation is performed by various methods including humidity and salt spray testing.
LTI is Accredited for Testing Metals
Our metals testing services are accredited to ISO/IEC 17025 by the Performance Review Institute's Nadcap program. All testing is in compliance with ISO 9001 and ISO 13485.
