FASTENERS

TEC Eurolab

What we do for
the Fasteners Sector:

Assessing the conformity of a production batch requires performing numerous tests required by specific standards such as ISO and NAS.

TEC Eurolab offers comprehensive technical support in Failure Analysis, working alongside customers from problem identification to operational resolution.

Several types of tests are required to determine the strength of fasteners such as screws, bolts, and studs, which allow to:

  • Verify parameters and compliance with standards
  • Evaluate issues and study evolutions on the product
  • Detect surface and internal defects on raw materials and finished parts
  • Characterize surface finish, coatings, paints, lubricants
  • Characterize the mechanical properties of fasteners
  • Characterize the torque properties of fasteners
  • Simulate and measure characteristic assembly parameters
  • Analyze heat treatment, operation verification and near surface examination
