Elgiloy Specialty Metals Laboratories
At Elgiloy Specialty Metals, our advanced laboratory facilities play a crucial role in supporting our customers’ evolving needs. Many of our mill partners collaborate closely with our team of highly skilled process engineers and product managers to develop tailored rolling, finishing, and annealing processes. By engineering these processes together, we help enhance the performance of your final product or improve the efficiency of your manufacturing workflow.
Whether the goal is to achieve a specialty rolled finish that promotes better lubrication, precisely control half tolerances, optimize grain size, or maintain a narrow, restricted tensile range, our team of materials experts and testing specialists is here to assist. We conduct comprehensive analyses to ensure that your strip and wire products meet the exact specifications and mechanical properties required by your application. We certify all materials to both standard industry requirements and specialized custom specifications.
Our laboratory services include:
- Comprehensive Physical Testing: We rigorously evaluate physical properties to confirm product integrity and consistency.
- Heat Treatment Testing: Our labs closely monitor heat treatment processes to verify optimal material performance.
- Hardness Testing: We assess material hardness to ensure products meet strength and durability requirements.
- Grain Size Verification: Precision grain size analysis guarantees our materials perform reliably in demanding conditions.
- Continuous Process Monitoring: Advanced monitoring techniques ensure consistency and traceability at every manufacturing stage.
- Nadcap-Certified Testing: Our testing procedures are audited and accredited to the highest Nadcap quality standards.
For our Precision Drawn Wire customers, we utilize state-of-the-art laser extensometers capable of identifying wire grain sizes as fine as 0.0005”. This advanced capability enables us to meet the most stringent demands of industries where reliability and performance are paramount.
No matter if your material is destined for Aerospace, Medical, Power Generation, or another mission-critical field, you can rely on our well-equipped labs and experienced technical staff for prompt, accurate testing and certification. With efficient turnaround times and a strong commitment to on-time delivery, Elgiloy Specialty Metals is dedicated to supporting your success.
