About the lab
The Testing Lab is equipped with a state-of-the-art of test instrument for residual stress measurement & Elastic Properties determination.
We can accommodate your laboratory and field measurement needs, with fast, accurate and efficient service.After the samples are received , they will be analyzed with a short turnaround time and the results will be presented in a clear measurement report.
XRD Residual Stress Measurements
- Welds– Stresses introduced by welding. Evaluating stress reduction strategies.
- Evaluate Surface Treatments– Shot Peening (Very Important) – Anything that is peened needs to have the residual stress measured.
- Understand effects of mechanical working processes– such as machining, rolling, forging, extruding by measuring the residual Stress.
- Measure base line stresses –in unloaded components and operational stresses in loaded components
- Failure Analysis– If a part fails. Residual stress needs to be considered.
- Crack initiation and propagation – highly dependent on residual stress.
- Heat Treatment– Used to reduce stresses. Residual stress needs to be measured to ensure process worked correctly.
- Fatigue Life(How long a part lasts) – Highly dependent on small changes in residual stress.
Impulse Excitation Measurements
- Measurement of the Young’s modulus, shear modulus, Poisson’s ratio, internal friction and resonant frequency according to ASTM E1876-15 at room temperature.
