TESTING & QUALITY CONTROL
Our forgings are inspected to ensure a high level of quality at every manufacturing step. We control the whole process of delivered products and ensure the full traceability. We conduct the preliminary and final inspection tests according to international standards, under the supervision of the important working inspections authorities such as bureau Veritas, DNV, GL, ABS, Lloyd’s register, RINA, TUV and many more.
Non-destructive testsOur technicians and engineers with SNT-TC-1A LEVEL 2 and 3 and EN 473-03 qualification perform the non-destructive tests such as:
Penetrant test
Magnetic particle test
Ultrasonic test
Endoscope test of deep boring
Visual and dimensional test
Residual magnetic test
Zwick Z600 tensile testing machine
Charpy impact testers (450J, 300J)
Hardness testers (Brinell, Rockwell, Vickers)
Stationary and portable optical microscopes
Equipment for residual stress
Laboratory furnace for heat treatment
Tensile tests ( from 20 °C up to 900 °C )
Impact tests ( from -180 °C up to 180 °C ), FATT, LE
Residual stress test according to ring-core method
Hardness according to Brinell, Rockwell and Vickers methods
Macrostructure tests – deep etching, blue fracture, Baumann test
Microstructure tests - grain size, cleanliness of steel

Chemical Laboratory performs chemical analyzes of samples from the steelmaking process, but also the following tests for:
All materials used in production (scrap, ferro-alloys, fluxes, carburizers, lime etc.)
Finished products
Waste (dust, slag)
Physical and chemical properties (density, moisture, active lime)
Samples for estimating emissions of carbon into the atmosphere.
Chemical Laboratory carry out their own research and it is accredited by the Polish Centre of Accreditation No. AB018.
