Considerable research and development work is
being carried out all over the World in the field
of applications of alloy steel castings, especially
for high temperatures service. Newer and newer alloys
are being developed for withstanding more and more
stringent working conditions. This has made it essential
that any alloy steel casting industry should have
a well established research and development laboratory
for keeping pace with the international trends in
this field. Keeping this importance in mind, Nitin
has set up its own research and development laboratory
with all modern facilities.
Some of these facilities are:
| Chemical
analysis : |
Baird
make Vacuum Emission Spectrometer capable of
analysing 35 elements including trace elements
and micro-alloying elements. |
| Mechanical
testing : |
Universal
Tensile Testing Machine (40T capacity) for Room
Temperature and High Temperature (upto 1150
deg. C) tensile testing.
High Temp. Stress Rupture Testing Machines (upto
1200 deg. C)
Charpy & Izod Impact Testing Machine
Brinnel Hardness Tester
Portanble Equotip Hardness Tester. |
| Other
facilities : |
Metallurgical
Microscope.
Non-destructive testing facilities for radiography,
Eddy Current Examination, Dye Penetrant Examination,
etc. |
With
the help of above facilities, Nitin routinely undertakes
failure investigations to ascertain the reasons
for failure and to develop suitable solutions for
getting better performance from the products.
