Material analysis is crucial for various industries, from automotive to aerospace, construction, and consumer goods. Understanding the properties and behavior of materials under different conditions helps manufacturers improve product design, ensure compliance with industry standards, and enhance overall performance. At Kiyo R&D Center & Laboratory, we offer a suite of advanced testing services to meet these needs.
Tensile testing measures the resistance of a material to breaking under tension. This test provides essential data on tensile strength, elongation, and modulus of elasticity, helping us understand how materials will perform under different forces.
Flexural testing determines the bending properties of materials. It’s particularly useful for assessing the strength and flexibility of plastics and composites, ensuring they can withstand real-world applications without failure.
Safety is paramount, and flammability testing evaluates how easily materials ignite and how quickly flames spread. This information is critical for materials used in construction, transportation, and consumer products.
Understanding the composition of materials is vital for quality control. Filler/ash content testing quantifies the amount of filler or ash in a material, providing insights into its composition and potential performance characteristics.
Melt flow rate (MFR) testing measures the viscosity of thermoplastic polymers during the melt process. This test is essential for predicting how materials will behave during manufacturing processes like injection molding.
Heat Deflection Temperature (HDT) and Vicat Softening Point (VSP) tests determine the temperature at which materials deform under a specified load. These tests are crucial for applications where materials are exposed to high temperatures.
Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy identifies chemical compounds in materials. This non-destructive technique provides detailed information about material composition, aiding in quality control and failure analysis.
SEM provides high-resolution images of material surfaces, revealing detailed structural and compositional information. This is invaluable for analyzing fractures, coatings, and surface treatments.
TGA measures changes in material weight as a function of temperature. This test provides insights into thermal stability, composition, and degradation temperatures of materials.
DSC measures heat flow in materials as they are heated or cooled. This technique helps identify melting points, glass transition temperatures, and crystallization behaviors, crucial for polymer analysis.
Vibration testing evaluates how materials and products respond to mechanical vibrations. This is essential for industries like automotive and aerospace, where materials must endure dynamic stresses.
Impact testing measures a material’s ability to absorb energy during a collision. This test is vital for safety-critical applications, ensuring materials can withstand sudden impacts without failing.
Thermal testing assesses how materials behave under varying thermal conditions. This includes thermal conductivity, expansion, and thermal cycling tests, which are crucial for applications in electronics, aerospace, and construction.
