The R&D process requires that we use various kinds of specialist equipment to ensure that the results we achieve are accurate and fully reliable. These include:  

• Emission spectrometers
  
• X-ray spectrometers
  
• Mechanical testing machines (tensile, bending, impact and fatigue)
  
• Dilatometers, tribometers, oxidation and wear testing equipment
  
• Optical Microscopes and Image Analyzers
  
• Electronic microscopes (SEM and TEM)
  
• Pilot plant spin casting machine
  
• Laboratory heat treatment facilities
  
• Simulation models for spin casting
  
• Simulation programs for thermodynamic calculations and solidification
