Metallurgical Laboratory
Colonial Coatings’ Laboratory boasts a NADCAP accredited metallography lab on its premises, equipped to handle various tasks related to mount preparation, photomicrography, and metallography. This cutting-edge technology ensures unparalleled quality control and efficient research and development processes.
Metallurgical Laboratory Capabilities
Scratch Hardness
The lab performs scratch hardness testing, which assesses a material’s resistance to surface scratching or indentation. This type of testing helps evaluate the hardness and durability of coatings or materials under different conditions.
Metallographic Evaluations
This process involves studying the microstructure and properties of these coatings, providing insights into their quality, adhesion, porosity, and other critical factors.
Bend Testing
Bend testing evaluates the flexibility, ductility, and resistance to deformation of materials. It involves subjecting a sample to controlled bending forces, allowing for the assessment of its performance and suitability for specific application.
Hardness Testing
Hardness testing involves measuring the hardness of features or regions within a material. It provides valuable information about the material’s resistance to indentation, wear, or deformation on a microstructural level.
Cup Testing
Cup testing, also known as cupping testing, is performed to assess the formability and ductility of sheet metal or thin-walled components.
Dielectric Testing
Dielectric testing focuses on evaluating the electrical properties of materials, such as their insulation capabilities or the presence of electrical conductivity.
