Metallic Material Test

Metallic material tests include various analyzes and tests to evaluate the characterization of the behavior of metal materials for their optimum use in products and components.

Metallic materials are widely used in industry. Therefore, characterizing their behavior allows us to optimize both their application and actual component manufacturing processes and metal-to-metal and hybrid bonds. Examining new or standard metal materials and improving their properties and applications both, new products and existing products.

ACCREDITED MATERIAL TEST LABORATORIES NETWORK

EUROLABhas a network of ISO 17025 accredited laboratories for testing metal materials in Europe and Asia. We have a team of experts in metals and bonds, as well as applications in leading sectors such as aerospace, automotive, renewable energies, oil and gas or construction. 

Our metal material testing service includes:

Support in R&D programs
Characterization and / or proficiency testing
Manufacturing quality control
Destructive testing for Welding Procedure Qualification (WPQ)
On-site testing (Detection of material containing Oil and Gas copy)

Our technical team performs standard tests (EN, ISO, ASTM, MIL-STD, others) or tests designed according to the customer's specific regulations (AITM, SP, GD, DNV, API, others) for any application.
 
We test both standard materials and materials for advanced applications:

Steel and its alloys
Aluminum and its alloys
Nickel, titanium and super alloys
Standard welded joints
Components with advanced welding procedures
