Laboratory activities

The SSM Laboratory offers a wide range of mechanical tests and chemical analyses on various materials, including steel, metal alloys, composite materials and polymeric materials in compliance with Italian (UNI), European (EN) and international (ISO, ASTM, ASME etc.) standards.

The Laboratory also has a section dedicated to non destructive testing, such as ultrasonic, magnetic, liquid penetrant and radiographic.

Through an agreement with RINA spa, it can organise theoretical-practical courses on the various non destructive testing techniques.

The new areas equipped with welding machines, welding benches and related fume abatement plant, enable the main welding techniques (electrode, wire, TIG and submerged arc) to be used, with a view to controlling weld materials and qualification of welding processes.
