LONDON -- Element Materials Technology's Sheffield Magna Way laboratory has secured approval for destructive testing services from Safran. The agreement, which follows a recent grant of Safran approval for ultrasonic testing, is subject to Safran monitoring actions based on Nadcap audit results and performance on Safran parts.
The work for Safran includes room temperature tensile, elevated temperature tensile, stress and creep, rupture, hardness, grain size, and inclusion testing for material and parts for use in aerospace applications.
Rick Sluiters, EVP for Aerospace at Element, said, "We work with the world's leading aerospace manufacturers as trusted partners in both destructive and non-destructive testing, playing a vital role in the supply chain. This approval further cements our 30-year relationship with Safran and it is the combination of our expert team, proximity to laboratories, and strength in customer service that makes us the ideal partner for businesses of this caliber."
Element Sheffield performs chemical analysis, materials testing, mechanical testing, non-destructive testing, and calibration. Its laboratory has a well-equipped machine shop with CNC machining facilities, and provides sample heat treatment capabilities, mechanical, chemical analysis, metallurgical testing, and force calibration services.
