Tested for True Quality
We pride ourselves in rigorously testing our products to be sure they uphold the highest level of quality demanded by our customer’s market requirements.
Mechanical Laboratory
- Room Temperature Tensile Testing
- This is an axial pull on the material measuring the force required to elongate the material to a breaking point. This allows us to determine how materials and products will conduct themselves in their applications.
- Bend Testing
- This type of test is performed in order to determine the ductility, bend strength and resistance to fracture of a metal. It is done by deforming the material at its' midpoint, which causes a bend to form without a fracture.
Metallography and Metallurgy
- Metallography (General)
- This is the study of the micro-structure of our alloys. Critical mechanical properties are related to micro-structure and observing them can allow us to understand the relationship between certain alloys and their properties, and therefore how that alloy will behave for its' intended application.
- Ulbrich is staffed with a complete Metallurgy department ready to help take your product through from planning to execution to support. See our complete Metallurgy capabilities
