of Steel Products
Our Inspection & Testing Services
⚪ Material Inspection
We perform detailed inspections to verify the quality of steel products before and after production. This includes: Visual Inspection: Checking for surface defects, cracks, corrosion, and inconsistencies in steel billets, blooms, beams, rods, and other products. Dimensional Inspection: Ensuring that steel products meet precise dimensional tolerances and specifications.
Mechanical Testing
To ensure steel products meet mechanical properties such as strength and durability, we offer a full suite of mechanical testing services:
Tensile Testing
Verifying the tensile strength and elongation properties of steel materials in accordance with international standards such as ISO 6892 and ASTM.
Hardness Testing
Measuring the resistance of steel products to deformation and ensuring consistency in material quality.
Impact Testing
Evaluating the toughness and ability of steel to withstand impact under different temperatures and conditions.
Chemical Analysis
We conduct detailed chemical composition analysis to ensure the steel meets the specified chemical requirements. Our services include: Spectrometry: Analyzing the chemical elements in steel to verify compliance with standards such as ASTM, ISO, and EN. Carbon and Sulfur Determination: Ensuring that carbon and sulfur content is within allowable limits to maintain material integrity.
