Metallurgical Analysis & Development

Callidus Group’s Metallurgical Analysis & Development Group have been developing coatings of the highest quality, with exceptional adhesion properties, minimum porosity and with less contaminant. Analytical capabilities include:

• Coating analysis (thickness, porosity)
• Metallurgical evaluation (microstructure, grain size, intergranular attack)
• Sliding wear testing (ASTM G99-95)
• Adhesion strength testing (ASTM D4541-02)
• Macro and Micro Hardness Testing (Brinell & Vickers)
• Imagine analysis
• Particle analysis (size, distribution)
• Ongoing research and development of materials to improve lifetime
