Metals: Precise tests for quality and durability
The metal material tests at Deon Research Centre are essential for ensuring structural integrity, durability and corrosion resistance. We offer accurate and reliable analysis methods that are suitable for a wide range of industrial applications — from construction to medical technology.
Why choose metal testing at Deon Research Centre?
Metal testing is essential to ensure the performance, durability, and reliability of metals under a variety of conditions. At Deon Research Centre, we combine technical expertise with advanced equipment for accurate metal analysis, including hardness tests, tensile tests and extensive material analysis.
Our advanced analysis methods include:
- Hardness tests: Using various hardness meters, we can accurately measure the hardness of metals and other materials, essential for assessing wear resistance, elasticity and material quality.
- Tensile testing machine: The tensile tester measures the mechanical strength and stretch of materials, using an extensometer to accurately record deformation and elasticity under tensile load. In addition, our tensile testing machine offers the possibility to perform tests at different temperatures thanks to a built-in climate chamber, so that we can analyse the behavior of materials under various thermal conditions.
- SEM-EDX (Scanning Electron Microscopy with Energy Dispersive X-ray): For microscale analysis and elemental composition of metals.
Metal testing applications
Metals are used in many sectors, where reliability and quality are crucial. Deon Research Centre offers customized test solutions for, among others:
- Building and Construction: We analyse metal components for strength, durability and resistance to external forces — crucial for safe buildings.
- Aircraft construction and aviation industry: In this sector, maximum reliability is a must. Our tests help ensure safety and performance under extreme stress.
- Automotive industry: In the automotive industry, performance and safety are key. We perform fatigue tests, tensile tests and corrosion tests to ensure the longevity and reliability of metal components such as chassis, engine components and suspension systems.
