Quality
MTC Certech maintains both a Material Development Lab as well as a Material Control Lab. This allows MTC Certech to develop materials to meet your specific casting requirements as well as assure that the materials used in production meet your requirements.
From this lab, MTC Certech is able to perform testing for surface area, particle size, softening point, thermal expansion, x-ray diffraction, modulus of rupture (3 and 4 point), density (Helium Pycnometry), spiral flow, torque rheometery, loss on ignition and high temperature creep or modulus of rupture.
To best evaluate the performance of MTC Certech core materials, our Material Development Laboratory has added test equipment, which allows the collection of data with respect to both temperature and load under simulated casting process parameters. This test device can run three samples of core body material in simulated casting environments from room temperature to 1700oC, evaluating strength and creep resistance.
MTC Certech is a Corporate Member of the High Temperature Materials Lab at Oak Ridge National Labs, a world class lab with state-of-the-art characterization and testing facilities, which further expands our testing and development capabilities.
