Mechanical Testing

Metallurgical is equipped to provide testing of metals, polymers, ceramics, and other materials to your specifications. We have a sound reputation for fast, reliable service at a competitive rate. Our state-of-the-art test lab and dedicated machine shop allows us to provide the most accurate and reliable results possible.

Tests include: tensile strength, compression, hardness (Rockwell, Brinell, Vickers, Knoop), microhardness, impact resistance (Charpy and Izod), friction resistance, 3 point bend, shear, strain, and wear resistance testing for a number of environmental conditions.

These tests are performed per ASTM, API, MIL, or other standards. The experience of our engineers and a comprehensive quality control program ensure accurate, reproducible results.
