Product Testing / Quality Control

Certifications of all quality control test results on our products are available to you. Hydro Carbide’s quality control personnel have established standards for all tungsten carbide grades. Control checks are performed at each operation. Chemical analysis and grain size are checked to assure that all products conform to standards. Test pieces are made to determine physical properties: hardness, transverse rupture strength and density. Fractured and polished surfaces are examined micro-graphically, and test results of each lot are recorded. Certifications of these various test results are available.
