Metallurgical Lab

One of our unique strengths is our in-house metallurgical laboratory which we use for research & development, quality control and failure analysis. We pride ourselves in supplying the best quality coatings and manufactured products in the industry and our ISO compliant laboratory allows us to ensure the quality and consistency our customers demand. Our equipment is kept calibrated and maintained per ASTM standards.

We utilize the Accuraspray Plume Sensor System to provide real time evaluation of thermal spray processes. This system allows process independent control of coating properties by providing real-time measurements of the average particulate temperature, velocity and flow rate as well as the vertical position and profile of the plume itself. Values of these parameters are continuously recorded and then compared to user adjustable tolerances. We know that the reproduction of coatings depends on the ability to monitor and control these key variables. This allows us to improve process control and better forecast coating thickness.

Our Coating Testing Capabilities – Bond Strength Tensile Test, Shear Strength Tensile Test, & Macro Hardness Test (Rockwell), Micro Hardness Test (Vickers), Bondline contamination, Percent Porosity, Abrasion (Tabor Abraser) and the Accuraspray Plume Sensor System.
