OUR LABORATORIES

Testing the tensile strength of a casting ensures that it will safely endure more strain than it will ever see in its working environment. Included in testing tensile strength are testing for yield strength, ultimate strength, and breaking strength. Yield strength determines the point at which the casting can be strained and still return to its normal shape. Ultimate strength is the maximum pressure the casting can withstand before reaching the breaking strength or rupture point. American Foundry has various technologies to accurately perform tensile strength tests on diverse castings that require a wide range of tensile force tests. These tensile tests can range from electric testers to high-powered hydraulic compression and shear testers.

High end spectrograph systems test the chemical composition of the metals to ensure clients receive the exact castings they require to do their job. These spectrograph systems use a spark to react to the elements in the metals, which gives off light at different wavelengths thus enabling our engineers to determine the precise chemical makeup of the metals and alloys and if any impurities are present.

American Foundry has the capability to test metal and alloy samples of various sizes. We use the most advanced technology and processes available to ensure that our products will perform at their ultimate capacity and retain their ultimate durability.
