NON-DESTRUCTIVE TESTS:

For testing of surface cracks and defects, a Tiede magnetic particle inspection yoke with fluorescence illumination is used. For non-magnetic castings a dye penetrant test kit is available. Krautkramer USM25 ultrasonic detectors are used for inspection of volume defects.

X-ray inspection is currently subcontracted to expert companies employed in this field.

DESTRUCTIVE TESTS:

The test bars belonging to the castings either cast integrally or separately depending on customer specification are tested in house on a 40 tonnes capacity tensile machine and impact machine.
