METALLOGRAPHY

Nikon Epiphot 200 Inverted Metallography Microscope

Miami Valley Materials Testing Center offers a complete metallography lab. Using the latest in technology, we can prepare metallographic samples of virtually any metal or alloy from common steels and aluminums to Metal Matrix Composites castings, forgings, sheet steel, weldments and anything else you can imagine.

 

TENSILE TESTING

Instron 3385H Universal Tester

State of the art testing is key at Miami Valley Materials Testing Center and with our Instron Universal Testing System we are able to test a wide variety of materials on its 56,000 lb load capacity frame. Based on ASTM Standard E8 for a 0.505-inch diameter sample we are able to test strength levels up to 280,000 psi, and because of the Instron Universal Testers' versatility we can test smaller samples such as wire and plastic down to 10 lb and 50 psi. We have the ability to shear, cut and machine samples in house, saving you time and money.

 

CORROSION TESTING
