Our materials laboratory has made a name for itself as an independent, professional testing centre for carbide. Thanks to many years of experience, in-depth know-how and state-of-the-art laboratory equipment, we are experts at evaluating carbides with accuracy. If requested, we can advise our customers on the most suitable carbide grade for their specific project and how to use it. In addition to metallurgical analyses, we also carry out practical tests for examining tools. A service normally only available from large carbide manufacturers.
