Metals Manufacture

Built on deep materials expertise

Understanding metallic materials is at the core of R-TECH Group. We provide accredited testing and consultancy to support manufacturers across both primary and secondary processing.

From raw materials to finished components, we help clients understand performance, resolve issues and improve product quality with confidence.

Our metals manufacturing services

01

Mechanical testing and analysis

Testing of metallic materials and components, including tensile, compression, fatigue and flexural performance.

02

Failure investigation

Detailed analysis of material and component failures to identify root causes and prevent recurrence.

03

Plant integrity and life assessment

Evaluation of manufacturing plant and equipment to assess condition, performance and remaining life.

04

Materials and process consultancy

Support with materials selection, processing issues and product quality improvement.

05

On-site inspection and testing

In-situ assessment, metallography and condition testing carried out directly within manufacturing environments.

Testing across materials, scales and applications

Our facilities support testing across a wide range of metallic materials, from fine wire to large structural components. We can test both machined samples and full-size products, with the capability to design and manufacture bespoke test rigs where required.

Our mechanical testing capabilities include tensile, compression, bend, flexure, shear and fatigue, providing reliable data to support product development and quality assurance.

From manufacturing challenges to performance insight

We work closely with manufacturers to solve materials and processing challenges, investigate product quality issues and provide independent technical assessment.

Our expertise allows us to go beyond reporting results – interpreting findings to deliver clear, actionable insights. Alongside laboratory testing, we provide plant integrity services including design evaluation, fitness-for-service assessment, remaining life prediction and performance optimisation.
