Metallurgy Lab
The successful selection and application of various wear resistant materials require a thorough understanding of erosive and corrosive wear. This ranges from qualitative comparisons to detailed examinations of the interactions between materials and abrasive solids on a microscopic level. In the development of its own products, KSB GIW conducts extensive materials testing.
Materials Testing
From cutting edge development on new materials, to the evaluation of parts returned from the field, our Materials Engineers explore all aspects of materials science related to slurry applications. As a service to our customers, we make some of this test equipment and expertise available on a contract basis.
Testing capabilities include:
- Mechanical testing
- Thermal analysis
- Corrosion and wear tests
- Evaluation of alloy microstructure and solids particles
KSB GIW, Inc. offers Coriolis Wear Testing, which is available at only a limited number of places in the world. The Coriolis erosion tester is perhaps the largest in scale and most sophisticated in design, performing both sliding and impact wear tests. The major hydraulic and testing parameters are measured and monitored by a computerized system.
