Coldwater Machine Opens Weld Test Lab
The on-site service can promptly verify weld integrity and shorten development time for laser, solid state and arc welding applications.
Posted: April 21, 2015
The Solid State Joining Center of Coldwater Machine Company (Coldwater, OH) has announced the opening of a Materials Evaluation and Testing (MET) Lab for weld inspection as an extension of its capabilities. This on-site service provides prompt verification of weld integrity, enabling Coldwater Machine to shorten the development time for laser, solid state and arc welding customers.
The company has invested in a new abrasive cut-off saw, metallurgical microscope with digital imaging and a grinding/polishing station for the MET Lab in order to provide microstructural evaluation in addition to its mechanical testing capability for weld tensile and hardness.
With over ten years of experience in solid state and laser joining solutions, the company recently introduced two new friction welding solutions to the market. Customers interested in both solid state prototyping and resultant lab analysis are encouraged to bring in their weld samples for evaluation by contacting the MET Lab.
