Testing Services
Every critical decision you make about metal performance starts with the right testing. At AADFW, our Testing Services are built for engineers and project managers who can’t afford uncertainty, especially in demanding aerospace, oil & gas, and heavy industrial environments. Whether you’re qualifying a new material, troubleshooting a field failure, or validating production quality, our team delivers precise, dependable results with turnaround times that keep your projects on schedule. Explore the testing options below to find the services that match your needs, then contact us to discuss your samples and next steps.
Mechanical Testing
Tensile, hardness, impact, and fatigue testing deliver validated material properties to specification, using calibrated instrumentation and controlled methods for reliable design inputs.
Chemical Analysis
Spectrometry-based elemental analysis quantifies alloying and trace impurities in metals, providing verified chemistry for material identification, certification, and conformity checks.
Combustion Analysis
High-precision combustion/fusion methods determine carbon, sulfur, oxygen, nitrogen, and hydrogen to verify heat-treatment outcomes, weld quality, and process control.
Fastener Testing
Proof load, tensile, torque-tension, hardness, and thread gaging confirm fastener strength and compliance, with purpose-built fixturing for repeatable, traceable results.
Metallography
Sectioning, polishing, and etching reveal microstructure, grain size, inclusions, and defects—supporting weld and heat-treat validation and lifecycle reliability decisions.
Non-Destructive Testing
Penetrant, magnetic particle, and ultrasonic techniques detect surface and subsurface discontinuities without damaging parts, enabling rapid screening and in-process quality control.
Salt Spray Corrosion Testing
Neutral salt fog exposure (ASTM B117) evaluates coatings and finishes under controlled conditions, with documented inspection intervals and failure criteria.
Welding Certification
Procedure and welder performance qualification (WPS/PQR/WPQ) with mechanical, macro, and applicable NDT confirms code compliance and production readiness.
Failure Analysis
Root-cause investigations combine fractography and metallurgical assessment to identify failure mechanisms and deliver practical corrective actions to prevent recurrence.
