Making your forged parts the correct size is only the beginning. Many critical applications require precise grain size, microstructure, hardness, conductivity, and mechanical properties to ensure reliability in service.
At Weldaloy Specialty Forgings, we back our forging expertise with a fully equipped, independent materials laboratory — the Weldaloy Metallurgical Laboratory (WML).
Our lab is ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accredited and NADCAP certified accreditation for materials testing laboratories, ensuring that our testing processes meet the highest aerospace and defense standards.
The Weldaloy Metallurgical Laboratory offers a comprehensive range of services, including:
Dimensional inspection with two Coordinate Measuring Machines (CMM) and a full suite of precision inspection tools
Chemical composition analysis of ferrous and non-ferrous alloys
Mechanical property testing: tensile, yield, elongation
Microstructural analysis: grain size and metallography
Hardness and conductivity testing
Non-Destructive Testing (NDT): dye penetrant, ultrasonic, and radiographic inspection
Beyond release and validation testing, the Weldaloy Metallurgical Laboratory also conducts primary research in forging science and metallurgy. Our work contributes to developing stronger, more efficient forging processes and advancing materials technology for industries such as:
Aerospace, including aviation and space exploration
Nuclear and power generation
Heavy industry and advanced manufacturing
With independent verification, NADCAP accreditation, and decades of metallurgical expertise, Weldaloy provides customers with complete confidence that their forgings meet demanding specifications and industry standards.
