Industries

AEROSPACE

We assist both manufacturers and aerospace suppliers who need to guarantee the quality of material and components they produce and purchase. Experience in composite materials makes all the difference when performing a specification correctly.

AUTOMOTIVE

We work alongside our clients in the automotive industry to provide the most reliable and best performing vehicles and automotive parts. Our salt fog chambers offer low cost corrosion studies, while our mechanical test lab provides stress and product conformance testing.

FASTENER

DRD provides fastener testing to identify potential problems early, achieve regulatory approvals, extend service life, reduce operating and avoid replacement costs. For companies without in-house metallurgist or test facilities, we offer a one stop shop from material selection to mechanical test regimes.

MANUFACTURING MATERIALS TESTING

DRD provides materials testing, both destructive and non-destructive, to ensure that product used by the manufacturing industry conforms to specification. Additionally, we are capable of supporting clients with product research and product development and materials selection. If a product fails prematurely, our failure analysis experts can provide root cause analysis or litigation support.

NUCLEAR MATERIALS TESTING

We understand the high demands of maintaining production in the oil and gas industry, and will help to ensure you get the fastest turnaround possible. DRD provides product certification, product development, and failure analysis. Our mechanical and non-destructive test labs can help answer your needs for material identification, material selection, conformance certification, process verification, performance evaluation, and determine root cause analysis of failed parts.

TRANSPORTATION AND INFRASTRUCTURE MATERIALS TESTING

DRD has partnered with numerous large civil engineering firms and municipalities to provide metallurgical expertise to construction, repair, and building maintenance projects. We offer on-site consulting, non-destructive inspection, and top tier laboratory testing for metals, polymers, and composites. Our expertise in metal corrosion can help you determine the remaining life of your system or provide root cause analysis for premature failures, as well as determine root cause of coating failures.

MILITARY AND DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE MATERIALS TESTING

DRD provides the government Défense sector with a variety of testing methods to establish mechanical properties, corrosion resistance, non-destructive testing, and failure analysis.
