Instruments and Laboratories

Quality control is organized in three stages:

1

At entry on raw and consumption materials

2

During production

3

On output of our products

Chemical laboratory

• Optical emissions spectrometer for casting and product analysis

• X-ray spectrometer for slag, refractories, ferroalloys and dust analysis

• Leco analyzer for the determination of carbon and sulphur content

• Leco analyzer for the determination of hydrogen, nitrogen and oxygen content

• Radioactive isotopes analyzer

Mechanical tests laboratory

• Charpy impact machine

• Hardness tester

• Material testing machine

Analysis on molten steel

• Celox for the determination of oxygen content

• Hydriss for the determination of hydrogen content

Metallographic laboratory

• Equipment for Jominy test

• Equipment for macroetch testing and sulphur printing

• Optical microscope and equipment to determine the inclusions content of steel and the grain size

The radioactivity control portal at the factory entrance and the radioactive isotopes analyzer in the chemical laboratory guarantee that the material employed is free from ionizing radiation beyond natural intrinsic radiation.
