From spectrometer to final inspection: how castings are tested

4 min read

Every component that leaves our plant passes through a sequence of chemical, mechanical and dimensional checks in our in-house laboratory.

Chemistry first

A spectrometer confirms the chemical composition of each melt against the specified grade before parts move on.

Mechanical properties

Test bars are pulled on a universal testing machine for tensile and yield strength, and hardness is checked to specification.

Dimensions and soundness

Machined features are measured against the drawing with height gauges and calipers, and non-destructive testing checks for hidden internal defects. Only then is a batch released for dispatch.
