Service Overview
Metal Testing
In a globalized supply chain landscape, evolving regulatory frameworks and rising quality expectations demand robust testing strategies across the metal product lifecycle. ECQA provides comprehensive metal testing solutions to help manufacturers meet international standards, prevent performance failures, and optimize materials from design to production.
ECQA Metal Testing
With increasingly stringent regulatory requirements (such as EU REACH), manufacturers must conduct mandatory testing to ensure market access.ECQA supports testing for a wide range of metal and alloy products, including:
| Category | Common Products |
|---|---|
| Metal Materials & Alloys | Plates, rods, strips, bars, blocks, structural profiles |
| Pipes & Fittings | Pipes, valves, clamps, rings, joints, connectors |
| Architectural Components | Doors, windows, rails, curtains, ladders, frames, covers, gutters |
| Railway Materials | Rails, turntables, sleepers, gauge rods |
| Metal Wires & Cables | Wire ropes, cables, metal wires, wire mesh, metal slings |
| Fasteners | Bolt, screw, nut, washer, rivet, nail, buckle |
| General Hardware | Bells, hooks, clips, chains, small hardware tools |
| Mechanical Parts | Flanges, bearings, gears, shafts, push rods, brackets |
| Metal Containers | Bottles, cans, boxes, barrels, tanks, molds |
| Welding Materials | Welding plates, wires, rods, fluxes, filler metals |
| Others | All other general-purpose metal products |
| Test Item | Description |
|---|---|
| Chemical Composition Analysis | Determines elemental content of metals to verify compliance with standards or customer specifications |
| Mechanical Property Testing | Evaluates mechanical behavior under various loads (tensile, compression, bending, torsion, impact, cyclic stress) across different environments |
| Metallographic Analysis | Examines microstructure to evaluate grain size, non-metallic inclusions, phase distribution, and heat treatment outcomes |
| Corrosion Resistance Testing | Assesses durability against corrosive environments (e.g., salt spray, intergranular corrosion, stress corrosion) |
| Coating and Plating Evaluation | Verifies surface layer properties such as thickness, adhesion, uniformity, and chemical composition |
| Weldability and Weld Quality | Evaluates weld integrity, crack resistance, and performance under mechanical and environmental stress |
| Fatigue and Service Life Analysis | Simulates material behavior under cyclic loading to predict endurance and operational lifespan |
| Failure Analysis | Identifies root causes of product failure using structured investigation, testing, and microstructural evaluation |
| Nondestructive Testing (NDT) | Inspects internal and surface defects without altering part structure, using RT, UT, MT, PT, CT methods |
| Precision Dimensional Measurement | Uses metrology tools to assess geometry, surface profile, and dimensional tolerances of components |
