LABORATORY RESEARCH

Description

Measurement laboratory:

  • the lab is responsible for taking length and angular measurements, error shape measurements and roughness measurement,
  • validation of control-measuring equipment (e.g. vernier calipers, micrometer gauges etc.).

Chemical laboratory:

  • determination of chemical composition according to the spectrometric method,
  • measuring the thickness of electroplated coatings according to the X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy method,
  • electroplating solution analysis,
  • inspection of paints, varnishes, lubricants and oils,
  • corrosivity testing and leak-proof testing of protective coatings in salt spray chambers.

 Material strength, metallography and flaw detection testing laboratory:

  • hardness testing according to Vickers, Rockwell and Brinell methods,
  • material mechanical properties testing: tension testing, impact testing (also in lower temperature),
  • hardened coatings thickness testing according to the hardness penetration pattern method,
  • microscopic and macroscopic steel examination and its alloy compounds testing,
  • nitrided, anodized, galvanic and carburized coatings quality determination,
  • nondestructive testing (flaw detection): magnetic and penetration tests,
  • the lab is responsible for expertise execution in scope of metal science and heat treatment. We specialize in technical and technological problem solving that occur during manufacturing process. The aforementioned research is conducted according to a set of the following standards: PN, PN-EN, PN-EN, ISO. Laboratory apparatus and measuring equipment are a subject of internal supervision and metrological confirmation by the Regional Verification Office.
