Metalco Material Testing opens new laboratories in Brno
Today’s news from the web
The laboratory is equipped with state-of-the-art equipment, including high-precision metallographic saws (Brillant 220, Qcut 350A), complete metallographic sample preparation equipment (Qpress 50, Qmount, Qpol 300 A1+) and Vickers, Knoop, Brinell and Rockwell hardness testers and microhardness testers (Qness 60 A+, Qness 750).
The laboratory also has analytical scanning electron microscopes, X-ray diffractometers and state-of-the-art Olympus DSX510, DSX110 and LEXT OLS5100 digital microscopes with high resolution, 3D imaging and measurement of observed samples, including complete image analysis and roughness measurement.
THE LABORATORY MAY OFFER, AMONG OTHER THINGS
- Structural analysis of metallic and non-metallic materials (macrostructure, microstructure, evaluation of inclusion content, grain size, DAS measurement, porosity, graphitic particle analysis, etc.) according to valid standards.
- Tests of mechanical properties (hardness and microhardness according to Vickers, Knoop, Brinell, Rockwell, tensile test, etc.).
- Chemical composition analysis (optical emission spectroscopy, EDS microanalysis).
- Quality tests of the initial metallurgical semi-finished product.
- Control of possible confusion of construction materials, including determination of chemical composition.
- Analysis of material properties after technological processes (heat treatment, forming, etc.).
- Quality control of weld joints.
- Analysis of the causes of material breakage during processing.
- Analysis of the causes of component breakage during operation (wear).
- Complex analysis of layers and coatings (coatings prepared by heat spraying, galvanic coatings).
- Development and optimization of metallographic techniques for the preparation of specific materials for industrial laboratories.
