R&R maintains the largest, most advanced product application and development laboratory, research foundry and technical staff for benefit of the industry.

 

With unique testing equipment, we are the only industry supplier able to look at shell strength and flexibility properties in real-time and at temperature.

 

These resources are used to develop new products, analyze material performance and service customer needs.​

Shell Strength Measurement

  • Room temperature up to 2192°F (1200°C)

    • Modulus of Rupture (MOR)

    • Adjusted Fracture Load (AFL)

    • Stress-strain analysis

    • Deflection

 

Shell Permeability

  • Hot (up to 1832°F [1000°C])

  • Green permeability (room temperature)​​

Investment Strength Measurement

  • Green compressive strength

  • Post fired compressive strength

​

​Investment Permeability

  • Gas permeameter

​

Shell & Investment

  • Thermal Expansion Dilatometry

  • Simultaneous Thermal Analysis (STA) up to 2912°F (1600°C)

    • Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA)

    • Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC)
