ZOP Co. LTD FORGING PLANT

we offer the highest quality open and die forgings

To verify the quality of our products, we perform the following laboratory  tests and measurements:

  • hardness testing using the Brinell and Vickers methods (HBW/HRC),
  • chemical composition analysis using the spectral method,
  • micro and macro structure tests (grain size, micro purity, presence of internal structural defects, etc.),
  • grain flow direction inspection,
  • mechanical testing of strength properties (Rm, Rp0,2, A5) and impact strength (KCU2, KV),
  • geometric measurements on a 5-axis CMM measuring machine and contourograph,
  • other according to customer requirements.

We also use the following non-destructive testing (NDT) methods to detect surface and subsurface defects in materials:

  • magnetic particle testing (MT) – testing on a magnetic bench in UV light, enabling the detection of surface and subsurface defects,
  • penetrant testing (PT) – testing using the fluorescent method, performed on aluminium and titanium alloys, enabling the detection of surface defects,
  • ultrasonic testing (UT) – testing with a portable flaw detector, enabling the detection of surface and subsurface defects,
  • electrical conductivity test - tests to confirm the quality of heat treatment, mainly used for products made of aluminum alloys.
