Automotive

Ensuring that your automotive vehicles are reliable, no matter the environment, is critical for you and your customers.

Our automotive specialist understand that you depend on your vehicles in order to service your customers and having confidence in your vehicles and your automotive parts is necessary. Therefore, we give you the support to reliably test your automotive materials and vehicles, whether you have manufacturing concerns or you need to validate that your suppliers are meeting your standards. We have worked with major automakers and suppliers, including General Motors, Ford, Chrysler, and Honda.
 
WARRANTY FOR PARTS AND COMPONENTS TESTING:
Our automotive experts have extensive failure analysis backgrounds, which means we efficiently determine the cause needed for warranty returns and advise you how to mitigate it from happening again.
 
ENVIRONMENTAL TESTING:
We leverage our years of experience testing the corrosive effects that the environment produces related to salt and apply it to your automotive parts and components so you have the confidence that they will be there when you need them the most.
 
TESTING CAPABILITIES:

• Copper Accelerated Acetic Acid Salt Spray (CASS) and Salt Fog testing are techniques that allows us to measure the performance of your coatings (e.g. nickel/chromium and copper/nickel/chromium) for your steel automotive parts and components against corrosion. This process also exposes many types of contaminants that may be present.

• Mechanical testing of fasteners, fabrics, and plastics can assist you with knowing your exact material properties, from tensile strength to impact resistance.

• Failure analysis of broken components, performed by our team of mechanical and materials engineers, can help you understand the root cause of failure and quickly identify a solution.
