Material testing

Because real steel power always exists

Through our material testing, there is the possibility of you receiving standard material certified by an independent body directly from our warehouse. This shortens delivery times and you can respond even faster to customer requests.

Some applications require special properties of the material. With the help of our testing facilities, we approve the material for certain uses. For example, in the form of an approval for shipbuilding, for pressure vessels in the chemical industry or for parts used in nuclear power.

Material testing for every requirement

Different methods are used for testing the materials. Non-destructive testing includes, for example, ultrasound and dye penetrant testing. The tensile test and the notched impact test count as destructive testing. Of course, we certify every material test we carry out with a certificate or a sample report.

Determination of the chemical composition

Also mobile, for example for a materials identification check

Tensile test from room temperature to 900°C

Determination of Rm (tensile strength), Re or Rp0.2 (yield strength or yield point 0.2 %), A (elongation), Z (necking)

Notched impact test from room temperature to -196°C

Determination of the notched impact energy (KV)

Hardness tests

Brinell, Vickers, Rockwell, micro hardness test

Metallographic examinations

Determination of microstructure, degree of purity, grain size, resistance to intergranular corrosion

Hardenability

Jominy test

Non-destructive testing
Ultrasonic testing, dye penetrant testing, magnetic particle testing

Remarkings
For example, when six one-metre rods are sawn from a six-metre rod

Technological tests
Bending test, ring tensile test, folding test, ring folding test, ring expansion test, ring mandrel test

Determination of magnetic properties
Coercivity, hysteresis curve

Various tests
Roughness measurement, concentricity test, dimensional test, chloride test, hydrogen test, heat treatment tests

Acceptance of materials by independent acceptance companies
Preparation of a 3.2 certificate

Tailor-made supply

We focus exclusively on customer-dedicated material. Every delivery is sourced and processed according to your specifications, ensuring you always receive exactly what your production requires.

Strong service network

All processing steps, such as sawing, grinding, peeling, heat treatment, crack or ultrasonic testing, are handled by our efficient external partners throughout Germany. This guarantees flexibility and high-quality results without compromise.

Delivery reliability

With our “back-to-back” supply approach, shipments come directly from the steel mills to your production site. In addition, we set up buffer stocks and consignment warehouses close to our customers, ensuring just-in-time deliveries.

Global sourcing power

Independent of single mills, we purchase worldwiden from Europe to Asia (China, Korea, India, Türkiye, Czech Republic). As part of IMS and JACQUET METALS Group, we leverage global purchasing volumes to secure competitive conditions.

Proven expertise

Certified according to ISO 9001, we combine technical know-how, effcient processes, and reliable quality monitoring. Continuous monitoring guarantees consistently high standards throughout the entire supply chain.
