Quality
Control
Certech maintains both a Material
Development Lab as well as a Material Control Lab. This allows
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, 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 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.
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.
