Research

Knowledge is power

Chromin features a modern metallurgical lab equipped for various types of material research – from straightforward material analysis to a complex damage investigation with photographs of structures. 

 

Our techniques

 

  • Measure layer thickness of ferrous and non-ferrous metals
  • Determine core hardness according to Rockwell, Brinell, and Vickers
  • Determine surface hardness according to Vickers and Micro Vickers
  • Measure surface roughness of Ra, Rt, Rz, and Rmax 
  • Material spectral analysis (determination of chemical composition and substance/material number)

 

We can perform various measurements on site if desired. All research can be concluded with a comprehensive report, including images. Reports are also available digitally. 

  • Product and thread measurements (3D measurement technique)
  • Material structure analysis and residual austenite measurement
  • Stereomicroscopy
  • Damage investigation (corrosion, fracture, and cracking)
  • Material choice and advice

‘We combine high-quality research in our lab with the most innovative techniques, always adapted to the customer’s needs and circumstances.’
