Materials Testing Services
Element has one of the most comprehensive ranges of materials testing services available in the TIC sector that covers materials selection, application and performance testing as well as failure analysis testing services.
We apply a combination of both destructive testing and non-destructive testing methods to metals, composites, polymers, elastomers and resins to determine their potential properties, performance, strength, durability and resistance to corrosion and to ultimately help make certain that they are safe, compliant and fit for purpose in their end application.
We are a world leader in the provision of high-volume routine mechanical testing services such as tensile testing, impact testing or hardness testing, for both metals and polymeric materials, as well as highly specialized mechanical testing such as fatigue testing, fracture mechanics, crack metal testing, crack propagation testing, creep testing, corrosion testing and chemical analysis services using OES, XRF, ICP, EDS, MS and other analytical techniques.
