How Engineers Know
When material fabrication and metal heat treatment are outsourced, engineers need to know whether the proper manufacturing procedures have been followed. Hardness testing performed by a materials testing lab such as NSL Analytical Services can provide the answers and the peace of mind manufacturers and suppliers need.
As designers increasingly rely on mechanical properties of nonmetallic materials for lighter, more cost effective parts, the materials testing services like those offered by NSL Analytical Services become even more important. Those test capabilities include Mechanical tests for:
- Tensile strength
- Flexural strength
- Compressive strength
- Impact resistance
- Crush strength
- Shear resistance
- Interlaminate strength
- Hardness
And Physical tests for
- Density
- Specific gravity
- Water absorption
- Water vapor permeability
- Contact angle
- Rheology
- Viscosity
- Melt processing characteristics
- Melting point
- Cloud point
- Pour point
- Oil absorption of pigments
There are more- an incredible number of metallurgical tests and failure tests can be performed by the accredited NSL Analytical Services meticulous, efficient staff on state of the art equipment.
