Quality assurance / Laboratories

Quality assurance for best wear protection solutions

At the Quality of our products and solutions, we do not concern ourselves with externals - because the inner values such as the structure and chemical composition of the Materials is crucial for excellent results.
In In-house laboratories we therefore determine the Material characteristics of all substances involved in the process and document them seamlessly - from the incoming inspection of raw materials to the alloying constituents of a finished buildup weld. With its own Metallography Lab, a Spray Lab and a Wear laboratory the company has three in-house facilities for quality control and further development of all products.

Precise analytics is our element

With state-of-the-art spectrometric Analysis method and more demanding Materials Testing Technology we monitor, test and document every single raw material batch in the process chain. In addition, we develop for customers customized products for special wear solutions or adapt existing solutions. As a certified company according to ISO 9001:2015 DURUM guarantees the high quality of every single delivery and assures you the best Quality of results when using DURUM wear protection solutions.

We export our services and products to over 80 countries worldwide.

Benefit from our production facilities and service centers in Brazil, France and the USA as well as sales partners on all 5 continents.

Metallography Lab

The metallography laboratory serves, in addition to the Quality assurance of our products above all the New and further development of our DURMAT^® product range. In addition, we can customize products here together with our customers for wear solutions.

Thermal spray laboratory

DURUM has its own Spray Lab for thermal spraying. Here the qualitative monitoring the DURMAT^® Spray wires and spray powders for arc wire spraying with the SPS-controlled spraying system for flux cored wires - DURSPRAY 450 - as well as powder flame spraying. Furthermore we manufacture in the spraying laboratory Pattern and Small components.

Quality advantages make school at DURUM

Through an extensive range of training courses at the parent plant, in the subsidiaries and agencies of the countries or directly at your site, you and your employees will learn how to handle the desired products perfectly.

Welding laboratory

In the DURUM welding laboratory, in addition to the technical welding Quality monitoring the DURMAT^®-welding products (PTA, MIG/MAG/OA, submerged arc, cobalt-based alloys, oxy, arc hand, TIG) mainly Test welds of newly developed alloys as well as Sample welds at the request of the customer. Likewise, here we test all PTA systems DURWELD thoroughly before they are shipped for sale. Due to our long experience and practice with DURMAT^®-welding products, we can offer our customers the best products for specific applications to offer.

Wear laboratory

DURUM has its own Wear laboratoryin which we test products already established on the market as well as newly developed alloys in terms of wear resistance. The wear laboratory includes the in ASTM G65 standardized friction wheel test as well as the ASTM G75 standardized Miller test.

In collaboration with our customers, we develop and test wear-resistant alloys in order to jointly optimal wear protection solutions for the corresponding use cases.
