Materials Testing and Analytical Services of Metals, Composites, Coatings, and Powders

IMR’s Expertise

For more than 25 years, IMR’s materials testing professionals have helped manufacturers and their suppliers understand what their materials are made of and how they perform. Our work focuses on clear identification, accurate composition analysis, and reliable evaluation of mechanical properties.

Mechanical Destructive Testing

We specialize in destructive testing—intentionally pushing materials to failure so their true performance limits are known. This method reveals critical mechanical properties, including:

• Tensile strength — how much load a material can withstand
• Hardness — resistance to indentation or deformation
• Impact toughness — ability to absorb energy before fracturing
• Elongation — how far a material stretches before breaking

These results help engineers validate designs, qualify suppliers, and troubleshoot failures.

Chemical Analysis

IMR performs precise chemical analysis on alloys, composites, and plastics to define elemental composition. This information supports two essential tasks:

• Selecting candidate materials for new designs
• Identifying root causes of failures in finished components

Accurate chemistry is often the key to understanding why a part performed as expected—or why it didn’t.

Industry Trust & Accreditations

IMR is a preferred testing partner for leading manufacturers in:

• Aerospace
• Automotive & transportation
• Energy
• Medical devices
• Additive manufacturing

Our commitment to quality is validated through ISO 17025 and Nadcap accreditations, along with numerous OEM approvals.
