SGS Materials Testing

SGS RTI Laboratories offers a comprehensive suite of materials testing methods designed to evaluate material performance, verify composition, and diagnose failure mechanisms. Our capabilities include full metallurgical analysis—encompassing hardness, tensile, microstructural evaluation, and SEM/EDS characterization—to assess structural integrity and identify defects.

We perform extensive mechanical properties testing to determine strength, durability, and deformation behavior across a wide range of metals and engineered materials. Chemical analysis services support alloy verification, contamination assessment, and industrial chemistry needs using advanced techniques such as FTIR, TGA, DSC, and Pyro‑GC/MS for paints, coatings, polymers, lubricants, and other complex materials. Specialized services further include failure and surface analysis, corrosion evaluations, environmental exposure testing, and friction/brake material studies. These methods collectively ensure accurate characterization, root‑cause insights, and precise material validation across demanding industrial, automotive, environmental, and research applications.
