What do WE OFFER?

In the fast paced world of industry today, usually we don’t have the time to focus on anything else but the job at hand. So when something out of the ordinary happens for which we didn’t plan not even to mention budget, there is always the probability of getting behind schedule and losing precious time and money.

This “something out of the ordinary” may be anything from a failure of a working component, to the wrong specification of a material required for a part or a project. It can put your project on hold for days or even months if not handled correctly.

There are usually standards that must be followed in order to make sure that the right material or part is being used. May it be before application, to make sure the design parameters are met, after failure has occurred to find out why the part or material has failed, or even standard tests to be performed as regular quality checks for a project.

This is where we at Advanced Materials Science can be of service, so that the customer can focus his attention on his core business. Whatever your need may be, our aim and mission is to do whatever we can to deliver to our customers results that are accurate, applicable and on time so that they can proceed with the job at hand.

We can expose specimens to simulated weather-, vibration- and/or general temperature conditions for extended periods of time, depending on the request.

Examples include:

-> Saltspray testing
-> Humidity testing
-> Accelerated Weather testing (UVA + UVB)
-> Stress Corrosion Cracking
-> Vibration testing
-> Heat treatment

We are able to study test specimens under a microscope for various purposes (from the study of fracture surfaces, to structure analysis, to micro-measurements) depending on what is appropriate to the job request.

Examples include the following:

-> Microstructure
-> Grain Size Analysis
-> Coating Thickness
-> Micrographs
-> Shadowgraphs
-> Weld Profiles

We can identify materials by analyzing the chemical composition of a sample, using one of several different possible methods, depending on the type of material involved (eg. metals, polymer, liquid).

Examples include the following:

-> Optical Emission Spectroscopy (OES)
-> Energy Dispersive X-ray (EDX)
-> X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF)
-> Thermal Analysis
-> Water Analysis
-> And more

We can determine the mechanical properties of numerous types of materials including metals, plastic, rubber, polymers as well as composite materials.

Examples include the following:

-> Tensile tests
-> Hardness tests (Brinell, Vickers, Rockwell)
-> PQR tests (tensile & bend)
-> Charpy/Izod Impact tests
-> Compression tests
-> Flexural tests

We can perform PQR testing to qualify welders and weld procedures for engineering projects, and we are also able to identify the root cause of failures that are holding back production, if needed.

Examples include:

-> Tensile tests
-> Bend tests
-> Macrographs
-> Hardness Traverse
-> Charpy Impact tests
-> Fillet Break tests

We can expose specimens to simulated weather-, vibration- and/or general temperature conditions for extended periods of time, depending on the request.

Examples include:

-> Saltspray testing
-> Humidity testing
-> Accelerated Weather testing (UVA + UVB)
-> Stress Corrosion Cracking
-> Vibration testing
-> Heat treatment

AMS LABORATORY TECHNOLOGIES CAN SUPPORT ITS CUSTOMERS WITH EQUIPMENT MANUFACTURED BY LEADING BRANDS IN THEIR SPECIFIC FIELDS OF EXPERTISE.

We offer a wide spectrum of services covering metallurgy and materials testing, evaluation and consultation, chemical analysis, metallographic analysis and failure investigation.

Some laboratory and industrial instrumentation and testing equipment are so advanced and critical with respect to performance and maintenance (i.e. parts replacement, calibration or reconditioning) that they require ongoing relationships between the manufacturer, sales agent and end-user. AMS Laboratory Technologies’ personnel therefore follow ongoing training programmers at its suppliers’ facilities to ensure that its team of sales and service engineers are always in the best position to provide sales, service and applications support for the full range of equipment in the product portfolio that they represent. Service contracts are available that can be customized to the particular requirements of customers.

As with ongoing maintenance, customers may want assurances that they will be able to purchase parts and accessories for the product’s foreseeable lifespan. Many customers look for an all-in-one solution: a company that can provide the product, maintenance as well as all parts and accessories, on a regular basis, without the hassles of having to search for them in the marketplace.

Whether an application requires the characterization of powders or porous materials, the deformation characteristics of materials, determination of mechanical properties, environmental characteristics of materials, or chemical analysis AMS Laboratory Technologies can support its customers with equipment manufactured by leading brands in their specific fields of expertise.
