Metallography
Metallography is the study of metals’ microstructural properties under a microscope. The microstructure viewed under a microscope can be interpreted to bring forth information/data that can be used to asses quality and also explain the behaviour of metals.
Corrosion Testing
Corrosion is a gradually destructive natural process of material degradation resulting from a reaction with its surrounding environment. The process is electrolytic in nature. corrosion comes in various forms and therefore requires specific tests
Chemical Analysis
This test is used to evaluate the elemental composition of steels. The test is carried out through spectrometric emission method and is used for the identification and or classification of steels to existing grades/specifications. The elemental composition of steels is a property that primarily determines the mechanical properties of steels.
Mechanical Testing
Mechanical tests are performed to determine the mechanical properties of engineering materials and hence their suitability for certain uses. Properties such as material strength, toughness, hardness and ductility, inter alia: can be evaluated through these tests. Mechanical testing can also be used as a means for comparison amongst materials of choice.
