Ferrous Metals

Gain insights into the ferrous metals industry, a foundational sector in global manufacturing and construction. This comprehensive guide discusses the types of ferrous metals, their applications, the rigorous testing methods used to guarantee strength and durability, and the certifications essential for quality assurance.

Ferrous Metals Testing and Research Services

Contract Laboratory can help you with all your Ferrous Metals testing, analysis, scientific research and development, inspection, certification, engineering, failure investigation, and product development needs including:

Tensile Strength Testing: Measures the force required to break a metal by pulling it apart and is essential for assessing the strength of steel and iron
Hardness Testing: Uses methods like Brinell
Rockwell
and Vickers to determine the resistance of metal to indentation and wear
Impact Resistance Testing: Assesses how well metals can withstand sudden impacts or shocks
important for structural applications
Fatigue Testing: Evaluates the metal's ability to withstand repeated stress cycles without failing
crucial for components subject to dynamic loads
Corrosion Testing: Determines the resistance of ferrous metals to rust and degradation
particularly important for steels used in corrosive environments

Type of Ferrous Metals Products

Contract Laboratory can assist your company, academic institution, government agency or organization in outsourcing contract laboratories to perform testing, analysis, and product development for many Ferrous Metals finished products, processes, systems, in-process materials, raw materials and components such as:

Iron: Includes pure iron and its derivatives used in various industrial applications
Steel: Encompasses a wide range of steels including carbon steel
alloy steel
stainless steel
and tool steel
Cast Iron: Available in forms like gray cast iron
ductile iron
and malleable iron
commonly used in machinery and automotive components
