We also have excellent metallographic support, failure analysis, SEM work, adhesion tests, chemical analysis OES and salt spray facilities, alternate immersion testing and composites humidity conditioning facilities. The testing capacity doubled within the first year of business and had subsequently quadrupled over the next few years and continues to grow significantly year on year.The fatigue testing facility alone is now thought to be the largest ‘independent’ laboratory of its kind in Europe! An extensive CNC machine shop enables production of test specimens on site including low stress grinding and polishing to comply with Nadcap, GE and Rolls Royce approvals The customer base is wide and diverse with business coming from within the UK, Europe and Asia. The company is actively seeking to secure long term volume work agreements with major customers from various industrial and engineering sectors. such as the Forging/castings Industry, layered sintering technology/manufacturing, Aerospace, Automotive, Power generation, Oil & Gas, Nuclear, Plating Companies and the Medical industry and many others including Universities.
