| A significant amount
of metallurgical engineering is needed to successfully
produce sound weldments in mechanical and structural
applications.
MTi's weld engineering services
can include welder and procedure qualification
testing to insure compliance to industrial specifications.
We perform weld testing to evaluate the soundness,
toughness, brittleness, hardness and other properties
of weldments before production begins. Our team
also frequently investigates weld failures to
determine the root cause of fracture or degradation
of the weldment in the field.

Weld Failure
Analysis:
We are a fully equipped metallurgical laboratory
providing metallurgical engineering services
and specializing in failure analysis. Metallurgical
engineers can determine the cause of failure
and make recommendations to prevent future reoccurrences.
To learn more about our advanced metal testing
capabilities, please visit our Defect
Investigation page.
Weld Testing & Material Weldability:
Low magnification
view of a weldment
cross-section. Material microhardness testing
is performed across the weld through the HAZ and
into the base metal. Small black spots are microhardness
indentations.
Additional information about hardness traverses
can be found on the Mechanical
Testing page. |
