Test procedures tailored to the needs of the client
Laboratory for metals, mechanical testing and microscopy
Mechanical and microscopic examinations are performed according to valid international standards on all types of metallic materials. Testing procedures are adapted to the client’s needs.
Testing of metallic materials include mechanical, microscopic and chemical tests.
After the test, we provide an assessment of the results in the form of a Certificate.
