Verifying the Properties, Performance, and Safety of Your Materials

In manufacturing, construction, and product development, the quality of your raw materials is the foundation of your final product's success. BQCIS's Material Testing services provide precise, scientific data to confirm that your materials meet the most stringent quality, safety, and performance specifications. Our accredited laboratories are equipped with state-of-the-art technology to conduct a comprehensive range of destructive and non-destructive tests.

Whether you need to verify the composition of a metal alloy, determine the tensile strength of a polymer, or assess the corrosion resistance of a coating, our expert technicians provide reliable, impartial results. We help you qualify suppliers, ensure incoming materials meet contractual requirements, support research and development, and conduct failure analysis. Our certified test reports provide the confidence you need to move forward with your project.

Our Material Testing Capabilities

Mechanical Testing

Includes tensile, hardness, impact, and fatigue testing to determine a material's strength, durability, and resistance to fracture.

Chemical Analysis

Utilizing techniques like OES and XRF to determine the precise elemental composition and purity of metallic and non-metallic materials.

Metallurgical Testing

Microscopic examination of a material's grain structure to assess the effects of processing like heat treatment or welding.

Polymer & Plastics Testing

Analysis of polymers for properties such as melt flow rate, density, thermal properties, and filler content.

Corrosion Testing

Simulating corrosive environments (e.g., salt spray testing) to evaluate the resistance and lifespan of materials and coatings.

Non-Destructive Examination (NDE)

Applying NDT methods within the laboratory to identify surface and sub-surface defects without damaging the test sample.

Failure Analysis

A comprehensive investigation involving multiple testing techniques to determine the root cause of a material or component failure.

Product-Specific Testing

Customized testing protocols designed to verify that your materials meet the specific performance requirements of your end product.

Weld Testing & Qualification

Testing of weld coupons to qualify welding procedures and welders to codes such as AWS, ASME, and API.

Success Story

Failure Analysis of a Critical Fastener in an Automotive Application

The Challenge:

An automotive supplier experienced a series of premature failures in a high-strength bolt, causing production line stoppages and raising safety concerns.

Our Solution:

BQCIS's material lab conducted a full failure analysis, including visual examination, chemical analysis, and microstructural testing. The investigation revealed that an incorrect grade of steel was used by the material supplier.

The Result:

The client was able to use our certified report to reject the entire batch of non-compliant material, preventing a potential large-scale recall. They also implemented our recommendation for a more stringent incoming material verification process.
