Destructive Material Testing

Zeros GmbH offers a complete range of destructive material testing (ZP) – from mechanical-technological tests to metallographic analyses and environmental simulations. Our testing laboratory is equipped with modern technology and has its own sample preparation facility. This ensures that your testing orders are processed efficiently, precisely, and in compliance with standards.

• Accredited testing laboratory according to DIN EN ISO/IEC 17025
• All core procedures in-house: tensile testing, hardness testing, impact bending test, metallography, spectral analysis
• Own laboratory for sample preparation and polishing
• Environmental simulations such as salt spray test
• Digital test reports and audit-proof documentation

• Tensile testing – mechanical properties such as yield strength, tensile strength, and elongation at break.
• Hardness testing – Brinell, Vickers, microhardness; according to DIN EN ISO 6506/6507/9015.
• Impact bending test – toughness and brittleness of materials at different temperatures.
• Metallography – microstructure examinations, grain size determination, coating thickness measurement.
• Sample preparation – round samples, V-notched samples, and metallographic samples.
• Salt spray test – accelerated corrosion testing according to DIN EN ISO 9227.
• Spectral analysis – OES and XRF for the chemical composition of metals.

• Material testing in mechanical and plant engineering
• Testing of weld joints and samples for welder qualifications
• Quality controls on cast parts, forged parts, and semi-finished products
• Incoming goods inspections and supplier approvals
• Environmental simulations for corrosion protection and service life assessment
