Metal Material Testing

As a third-party testing organization with a professional metal material testing laboratory, we are dedicated to providing comprehensive metal property testing services.

Our testing engineers have years of experience and can tailor scientific and reasonable testing plans according to your needs. Our testing process is rigorous and fair, with complete equipment and precise instruments, resulting in reliable testing reports to support your business development.

The testing duration for metal materials

Metal material testing usually takes between 1 to 7 working days, but you can get it done faster with expedited services if needed. The testing engineer will decide the exact duration based on how complex the project is.

The cost of metal material testing

The cost of metal material testing depends on the type of project and how complex it is. The engineer will give you a quote based on your specific needs.

Inspection items

Chemical Composition Analysis

– This involves a quantitative analysis of elements in the steel, such as carbon (C), manganese (Mn), silicon (Si), molybdenum (Mo), chromium (Cr), nickel (Ni), cobalt (Co), etc., which significantly impact the steel’s performance.

– Methods used include atomic absorption spectrometers, X-ray fluorescence spectrometers, and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometers.

– The purpose is to ensure that the chemical composition of the steel meets the specified standards, thus guaranteeing its final performance.

Mechanical Properties Testing

– Are you overly dependent on any single country or supplier?

– Tests include:

– Tensile strength

– Yield strength

– Elongation

– Reduction in area

– Hardness

– Impact toughness

– Methods used include tensile testing, impact testing, and hardness testing.

– The purpose is to assess the material’s performance under different stresses to ensure it is suitable for specific applications.

Ultrasonic Testing

– Do you need on-the-ground support in global supply markets?

– Utilizes the propagation characteristics of ultrasound in materials to detect internal defects such as cracks, inclusions, and bubbles.

– The testing process includes transverse and longitudinal wave scanning of the material to assess its integrity.

– The aim is to identify and locate microdefects within the material

Process of metal material testing report

Communicate with engineers to determine the requirements for metal material testing

Have the commissioning units fill out the testing commissioning order and confirm payment

Send the samples, conduct laboratory testing, and issue testing results

Based on the testing content, generate the metal material testing report

Send the report and provide after-sales value-added services

Validity Period of Metal Material Inspection Report

In theory, the third-party test report for metal materials does not have a defined expiration period. If there are no changes in the material properties or updates to the testing standards, the report remains valid for an extended period. However, if there are any alterations to the content of the current report, it becomes necessary to redo the testing and obtain a new report. Additionally, the validity of the report can also be influenced by the requirements of the requesting party.
