Aston Services utilises specialised metal testing laboratories to analyse characteristics of materials according to the relevant accreditations. Aston Services can provide testing of ferrous metal, non-ferrous metal, mechanical parts and apparatuses. Our experienced metallurgists, chemists and technicians cover mechanical properties, macro/micro-structure analysis, dimensional measurements, non-destructive testing, chemical composition analysis; corrosion testing and weather resistance, non-destructive testing and can provide expert witness services.

The services we provide can be segmented into 8 key areas of speciality;

1- Mechanical Property Testing: Tensile, Impact, Hardness: Rockwell, Brinell, Vickers
2- Macro-/Microstructure inspection: Metallography, Coating thickness, Grain size, Depth of hardening
3- Dimension Measurement: Symmetry, Coaxiality, Roundness
4- Non-Destructive Testing: Ultrasonic Testing, Magnetic Particle Testing, Radiographic Testing, Penetration & Infrared Testing
5- Chemical Composition Analysis: Carbon sulphur analyser, Nitrogen oxygen analyser, Optical emission spectrometric, X-radial fluorescence spectrometric
6- Corrosion Testing: ASTM and other methods are available for general and localized corrosion analysis
7- Non-Destructive Testing: Infrared Testing, Magnetic Particle Testing, Penetration Testing, Radiographic Testing, Ultrasonic Testing
8- Expert Witness service
