Inspections - High-end inspections
We offer a wide range of tests and inspections, starting from non-destructive testing methods (NDT) optical precision measurement and dye-penetrant tests as well as chemical analysis and classical inspections, e.g. tensile test, notch impact test, hardness tests and many more.
Testing methods we offer:
Chemical analyses:
- Alloy determination by optical emission spectrometer (stationary) for Cu- , Al- and Fe-based alloys
- Mix-up testing (mobile) by X-ray fluorescence analysis
Non-destructive material testing:
- Dye penetrant testing
- Ultrasonic testing
- X-ray inspection
- Surface roughness test
- Visual inspection
Destructive material testing:
- Tensile test
- Notched-bar impact test
- Hardness tests according to Brinell (stationary, mobile), Rockwell (mobile) and Vickers (mobile)
Component inspection:
- Optical 3D measurements (stationary, mobile on request) by photogrammetry and fringe projection
- Pressure tightness test
- Helium leakage test
Determination of material characteristics:
- Thermal conductivity
- Electrical conductivity
- Corrosion behaviour
- Attenuation test
Foundry-specific testing technologies:
- Various molding material testing methods (strength, moisture, gas permeability, sieve analysis)
- Hydrogen measurement (carrier gas hot extraction)
- Various temperature measurement methods
Specific quality tests:
- Static unbalance testing of propellers and other rotationally symmetric objects up to a mass of 150t
- Testing the fit of tapered elements, e.g. propeller shafts, using male gauges (blue fitting test) or optical measuring method (VCT)
- Mobile metallography
