NPL has a wide range of facilities that have been used to study engineering alloys, from low alloy ferritic, martensitic and austenitic alloys to Ni-based superalloys and high temperature coatings.

NPL offers expert services in measurements of high temperature properties of metallic  materials with a range of testing. 

• Thermo-Gravimetric Analysis (TGA)
• Thermal Cycling
• Steam Oxidation
• High Temperature Furnaces (muffle and tube)
• Autoclave Exposures
