Materials Characterization & Test Lab - HBK

The increasing demand for fatigue and durability assessment has stretched the resources of not only major companies boasting their own testing facilities but also smaller companies seeking expert help to generate the right fatigue data essential for modelling, simulation or to prove that new processes and materials are fit for purpose.

This is where our Advanced Materials Characterisation & Testing facility (AMCT), near Sheffield, UK, demonstrates its value. With a proven track record spanning more than two decades, we specialise in characterising material data so that engineering companies can have confidence in simulation and fatigue predictions.
