At Applied Technical Services, we understand that you don’t just need testing, you also need interpretation of results.
Our engineers and metallurgists consult with you to determine the full scope of every project—factors such as the material of manufacture, the size, and shape of the component, and wording of the specification influence the testing decisions.
Applied Technical Services’ metallurgists and engineers analyze a variety of metals, ceramics, and composites each day and perform metallurgical testing services for quality assurance, failure analysis, reverse engineering, and litigation support.
