Materials testing
Well-founded material testing means safety.
Material testing for flawless results
Thorough material testing is the key to maximum product safety and quality. The HEAT Group relies on state-of-the-art technologies and many years of experience to test your components precisely and reliably. The goal: zero defects and 100 % quality for your products.
Advantages of materials testing
- Safety and quality: Standard-compliant test procedures enable product defects to be detected at an early stage and processes to be optimized in a targeted manner.
- Individual examinations: Adapted to your components and requirements - for maximum informative value and relevance.
- Reliability: Reproducible and precise results ensure your quality during operation.

Hardness test & flow test (Rockwell, Brinell, Vickers)
Macro and micro hardness tests on components and grindings, as well as flow measurements.
Tensile, compression and bending tests
Determination of breaking force, strength and elongation at break on your components and samples.
Metallography
Light microscopic evaluation of the internal structures of your components for the evaluation of successful heat treatment.
Residual dirt analysis
Cleanliness test in accordance with the current VDA standards after heat treatment.
Spectral analyses
Precise analysis of the chemical composition of your materials.
Salt spray tests
Testing of corrosion resistance and durability in the salt spray test.
Eddy current testing
Non-destructive testing method for sorting tasks in the areas of hardness, microstructure, hardening depths and layer thicknesses, as well as for crack detection.
Magnetic particle testing
Non-destructive testing method for near-surface testing for material defects such as cracks.
Scanning electron microscopy (SEM)
High-resolution structure and surface analysis.
X-ray diffractometry
Investigation of the internal structure of materials, in particular for the precise determination of retained austenite content, residual stresses and phase analyses.
3D coordinate measurement
Evaluation of the dimensional accuracy of your components with hand-guided 3D coordinate measurement.
Surface metrology
Roughness measurement to ensure the required surface conditions.
