Bowser-Morner's Mechanical Laboratory conducts a variety of mechanical and metallurgical testing services. The services offered include tensile testing, impact testing, hardness testing, micro-hardness testing, micro structure analysis, corrosion evaluations, and failure investigations.
Bowser-Morner's mechanical testing services are accredited by A2LA and comply with automotive, military, and general industry specifications. This laboratory also provides consulting on welding castings, electroplating, and manufacturing welding processes and procedures. In addition, our laboratory tests and certifies the qualifications of welders.
Mechanical Properties Studies
It doesn't pay to risk your reputation on an untested alloy or new material supplier. You can act with confidence when you rely on Bowser-Morner to provide comprehensive mechanical testing services: tensile, yield, hardness, shear, impact strength, and failure analysis of ferrous and non-ferrous metals. Our clients are nationwide. Our service is prompt. Our price, competitive.
Metallography identifies metals and determines specification conformance through procedures such as:
Micro/Macro structure
Inclusion content
Heat treat condition
Case depth
Decarburization/Carburization
Grain size
Graphite content
Hydrogen embrittlement
Hardness
Corrosion Studies
Corrosion studies are increasingly important on bridge replacements and other large vulnerable structures. What effects do acid rain, various atmospheric irregularities, process chemicals, salt, and the effluent of nuclear facilities and industries such as paper and petroleum have on the corrosion of metal structures? We're equipped to provide the answers. We also test alloys, ores, and slags for foundries and mining companies. The recent influx of offshore bolts and metal fasteners has led to increased demand for testing by the federal government and industry.
Broad Capabilities in Welding
We offer welding services that include evaluations of welded castings, welding procedures, welder qualifications and certifications. We also provide alloy identification and consultation on castings, electroplating and related manufacturing processes. We perform forensic and failure analyses as well.
Welding and Brazing Evaluation
These services provide procedure and operator qualification. Application engineering analyses are employed to determine the physical restraints of the weld/braze joint. Analyses include:
Tensile strength
Yield
Elongation
Impact
Bend
Macro-etch
Nondestructive evaluation
Micro/macro evaluations
