IMR KHA - Portland Adds Nadcap Approved, Low-Stress Grinding
IMR KHA - Portland has added low stress grinding after the purchase of a new Supertec G25P-50CNC grinder. This new capability expands the lab's extensive machining capabilities and offers improved sample preparation techniques to support high-end services such as fatigue and creep/stress rupture testing. IMR KHA has also received Nadcap approval on this new service.
This non-abusive type of sample preparation reduces residual stress on materials, and produces more accurate samples than conventional machining processes. Cutting is performed with a small, accurately controlled depth of cut, and is preferable for materials being tested for fatigue or creep/stress rupture.
