Industry-Leading Welding Testing & Expertise 

Welding integrity is crucial for industries where safety, durability, and compliance are non-negotiable. Element's comprehensive suite of welding services, from testing to qualification, ensures that materials and components meet the highest industry standards. Our expert team brings decades of experience in welding assessment, utilizing non-destructive testing (NDT), mechanical testing, metallurgical analysis, and corrosion testing. 

We deliver all manual welding services (SMAW, GMAW, FCAW, GTAW, and OXY), mechanical welding operations (SAW, Robotics, and orbital), and welding processes (EBW, Auto-GTAW, and SAW). We specialize in weld procedure qualification, welder performance qualification, and failure analysis, helping confirm weld reliability before deployment. We offer radiographic testing (RT), ultrasonic testing (UT), magnetic particle inspection (MPI), and liquid penetrant testing (LPT), ensuring defects are detected early. Additionally, our mechanical testing capabilities, including tensile, bend, impact, and hardness testing, validate weld strength and durability. 

With an extensive global network of accredited laboratories, Element offers sector-specific solutions for aerospace, energy, automotive, and infrastructure. Our deep technical expertise, fast turnaround times, and commitment to quality make us the partner of choice for manufacturers, fabricators, and asset owners seeking assurance in their welding processes. Whether verifying new procedures or assessing in-service welds, Element delivers trusted results for operational excellence.
