Pre and post machining services

Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) & Metallurgical Laboratory Services

(NDT) and Metallurgical Laboratory Services are essential complements to a machine shop because they ensure quality, safety, and reliability of manufactured components without compromising their integrity.

Metallurgical labs analyze material composition, microstructure, and mechanical properties to verify that materials meet specifications. NDT ensures parts are free from cracks, voids, or inclusions that could lead to failure. Our in-house capabilities can help you meet all quality control requirements.

FAQ section

How much can laser cladding extend component life?

Laser cladding can significantly extend component service life by up to 100% when compared to standard parts performance.

This dramatic improvement comes from the mechanical properties of high-performance alloys applied to the surface and from the metallurgically bonded protective coating, keeping your critical equipment operational longer.

What productivity improvements does laser cladding offer?

High-speed laser cladding (HSLC) delivers productivity gains of up to 300% over traditional coating methods. The combination of faster scanning speeds and minimal post-processing requirements means your components are back in service sooner with better performance.

How does laser cladding reduce operational downtime?

Our laser cladding turnaround time average over the last 3 years is 10 working days. Depending on the component overall dimensions and weight our team will collaborate with you to design an efficient repair process.

Can laser cladding help optimise component weight?

Targeted material deposition through laser cladding achieves 10-20% weight reduction in aerospace and automotive applications. This precision approach eliminates bulky protective coatings while maintaining superior protection, improving both energy efficiency and overall performance.

What mechanical properties of components can be optimised by using laser cladding?

Laser cladding can help optimise the following mechanical properties:
Hardness, Wear Resistance, Corrosion Resistance, Fatigue Strength, Toughness, Thermal Stability and Bond Strength.
