Materials Testing

Material testing is used to measure the characteristics and behavior of such substances as metals, composits, or plastics under various conditions ...

The data thus obtained can be used in specifying the suitability of materials for various applications. FMS is capable of collecting accurate data through various types of material testing such as but not limited to the following:

Chemical Analysis

Optical Emission Spectroscopy (OES)(Six Bases - Fe, Cu, Al, Co, Ti, Ni)
Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS)
LECO Carbon Analysis

Mechanical Testing

Tensile/Yield
Elongation
Reduction of Area
Proof Load
Bend
Charpy / V-Notch / Impact
Izod Impact
Flattening
Wedge & Axial Bolt Test
Tensile Yield Strength (full size bolts)
Weld Procedure Testing
Abrasion and Wear Testing

Hardness Testing

Rockwell/Superficial
Superficial
Brinell
Vickers
Knoop
Portable Equotip (In-Situ)

Corrosion Testing

Accelerated Corrosion Testing for Pitting and Crevice Corrosion Resistance and the Detection of Susceptibility to Intergranular Attack
Assessment of Exfoliation Corrosion Susceptibility
