Mechanical tests, roughness measurement

Inspection of hardness and tensile tests for the foundry are conducted by Talum Inštitut d.o.o.

Hardness tester WOLPERT DIA TESTOR 751
Hardness inspection can be done using a Brinell or Vickers hardness test. Hardness inspection on castings is usually done using the Brinell test where a 5 mm ball from tungsten carbide alloy is used as the indenter.

Tensile-testing machine ZWICK Z 100
Tensile tests are conducted on specimens of different standard shapes, as there are flat and round keys (4-10 mm and 10-30 mm) available.

Test results are transferred to the laboratory information system LIMS and are available to make a copy of the certificate or for inspection using the web application OrbitaLIMS.

Surface roughness control on MAHR - PERTHEN Perthometer PRK
Surface roughness control is conducted in the 3D measurement room in our foundry.
