Metals & Alloys Testing

Metal mechanical properties are reflection of their response towards the external forces. To know the performance potential of any material whether it is a raw material or a finished product, it is important to measure their mechanical properties. These properties contribute towards the performance of the material under specified environmental conditions and provide a guidance to make choice as per the requirements. It also tells about the

Inherited flaws in the designed material.

Sadguru Lab is well equipped with all the Mechanical Testing Facilities to provide reproducible, reliable and precise determination of various tests including compressive strength, impact test, tensile strength, bend or re-bend test, hardness tests, weld-ability, flattening test and various other mechanical properties.

Mechanical Tests we conduct:

Micro Hardness Test

Crescent, Flattening, Drift, Expanding and Bend Test on Tubes

Tension Tests on products

Vickers Hardness Test (mechanical-testing-definition.html#3)

Rockwell Hardness Test (mechanical-testing-definition.html#2)

Shear Strength Test

Brinell Hardness Test (mechanical-testing-definition.html#1)

Tensile, Yield Stress/0.2% Proof Stress, Elongation, Reduction in area and Crushing Test

Charpy Impact Test-ASTM upto -196°C

Bend Test, Re-bend Test and Pull- out Test on reinforcement bar

Spectro chemical and wet analysis – the laboratory is well equipped to carry out spectro chemical and wet testing of metal alloys using AAS (VGA & GTA), ICP-OES.

Non Destructive analysis – the laboratory carries out non-destructive analysis on metal alloys using Ultrasonic, radiography, MPI, DPI for identifying cast and process induced internal defects in above-mentioned metal alloys.

Analysis of coatings – Detailed analysis of coatings in terms of their chemical composition, thickness, adhesive strength are carried out in this laboratory on Galvanized, Anodized, Nickel, silver, gold, electroless Nickel, copper, ceramic, Palladium, Rhodium, Platinum and powder coatings on metal and non-metal surfaces.

Specialized studies – Structure-property correlations, consultancy research projects, failure analysis, corrosion, Tribology.

Corrosion – The lab has facility for carrying out corrosion studies (corrosion penetration rate, identifying type of corrosion), on metal alloys and coatings.
