Metals play key roles in industries like automotive, construction, paper, Portland cement, petrochemical, food, oil and gas, etc.

vIt is important to know the characteristics of materials and its in-use properties, to be able to specify them rightly. This is useful for substitution of imports, or to determine the root cause of premature failure or to promote the use of new materials allowing for longer life and less maintenance requirements.

We are able to support decisions in this field, for ferrous materials, be they cast, rolled, forged or cold formed. We can help in the selection of heat treatment, surface coatings, mechanical properties at high or low temperatures, weldability, machinability, corrosion resistance, etc.
