We can work with companies looking to research and develop new products, improve and maintain quality of existing products and investigate problems in production or end use.
We understand that every circumstance is unique so our team will conduct the examination to customer specific requirements and time-scales and ensure results are obtained in the most economical way. Our engineers apply their knowledge and experience to ensure jobs are completed rigorously and systematically ensuring key details are never missed.
We have a range of services, testing facilities and analysis methods which follow the methodology of international standards or custom testing and analysis can be tailored to meet nearly every requirement.
Our metallurgical analysis and materials testing services can reveal the composition, grain structure, and mechanical properties as well as many other important parameters of your materials with precision and accuracy, from metallography to SEM, EDS, ICP and OES, we've got you covered.
If you are looking to verify materials to the design intent or ensure they conform to controlling specification, we offer in-house metal analysis using a Spark-OES Analyser ensuring rapid and precise elemental testing.
Is corrosion causing problems for your materials?
Our corrosion testing and analysis services can identify the underlying causes of deterioration within your material or causes of escape of water and fluid to help you find effective solutions. We are able to perform a number of different tests of varying complexity to analyse the performance of your material, whether this be for preventative maintenance or verify the material can withstand a change in environmental conditions, from salt spray testing, passivation testing, anodic layer seal testing to SEM / EDS and metallographic examination, we've got you covered.
Protect your materials from the damaging effects of corrosion!
Did your mechanical system fail unexpectedly?
Our analytical tools and techniques, such as fracture analysis, fatigue testing, and dimensional analysis, can determine the root of failure and highlight important parameters such as crack growth rate. We aim to help find contributing factors, prevent future failures and support design improvement to keep your mechanical systems running smoothly.
We utilise state of the art digital microscope technology to ensure our photographic, dimensional and inspection capabilities provide the greatest detail and clarity for every analysis.
Are you confident in the strength, performance and durability of your materials?
Our materials testing services include compositional analysis, tensile testing, macro and micro hardness testing, impact testing and surface roughness inspection. We can also facilitate non-destructive testing (NDT), such as borescope inspection, ultrasonic testing, magnetic particle inspection, X-ray, and dye penetrant inspection.
We provide expertise in prototype development with our capabilities to construct and perform mechanical and product testing to suit internal procedures and requirements or follow methodology laid out in international standards.
Is your plating, conversion coating or anodizing to specification?
Our analysis services can help you find out. From thickness and composition to adhesion and corrosion resistance, we'll thoroughly evaluate protective and aesthetic material coatings to ensure they meet relevant standards, environmental requirements and customer expectations.
Optimise the performance and longevity of your coatings!
Are you confident in the quality of your welds and welders?
Our weld qualification and procedure testing services can help you ensure that your welds are to specification requirements for safety critical applications and verify weld integrity for acceptance quality adherence. Our weld assessors have over 15 years of experience providing expert analysis against industrial specifications, aerospace applications and ISO standards for ensuring quality levels for commercial practices.
We offer weld qualification and procedure testing services, including metallographic examination, physical testing, and evaluation of weld quality.
Additionally we can help support making decisions on new procedures and processes for the introduction of new materials, equipment, welding techniques and parameters or new personnel.
Don't wait for a catastrophic failure to happen!
Our on-site inspection and testing service can speed up analysis and provide more accurate results. In mechanical and material failures time is of the essence to ensure key evidence is not lost. We can retain samples quickly,understand the bigger picture of the events prior to failure and identify any contributory factors or further potential issues during the time of failure.
Get the legal support you need for materials-related failure analysis and joint investigations. Our knowledgeable experts, advanced equipment, and in-house lab testing can provide a fresh perspective on complex cases to provide legal support and expert testimony for manufacturers, insurers, and consultants.
Ensure your designs meet the highest standards with our expert Mechanical Engineering Drawing Review services. Whether you are prepping prototypes for production or reverse engineering legacy components, we have undergone intensive training in GD&T & GPS for design, manufacturing and inspection to ensure your product is manufactured to your design intent. We aim to help eliminate costly errors and optimise time from design to final product.
If you need prompt expert advice, don't delay in sending a query or requesting a call-back. We have experience in a wide range of industries and we can tailor our support to meet your project requirements and timescales.
Your solution for reliable metallurgical, material testing, failure analysis and consultancy services.
