RSL

RSL Technology Center
Quality Control and R&D accelerated testing for stress corrosion and hydrogen embrittlement  utilizing FDI/RSL equipment

RSL™ Technology Center:

It is the goal of this technology center to be the pre-eminent laboratory for engineering and testing services, dedicated to the quantitative evaluation of materials, processing, product, environment interaction, and failures pertaining to hydrogen embrittlement stress induced cracking. To meet this goal, the center utilizes the most advanced testing techniques and equipment available.   Fracture Diagnostics' Digital Displacement Computer Controlled Rising Step Load (RSL) test systems is conducted in either bending or tension. This method has been demonstrated as the only available tool for providing quantitative data relative to the effects of hydrogen embrittlement on high-performance materials.
