Unlock the Science Behind Every Material – Kiyo R&D Lab’s Expert Testing Services

Introduction

Every product, structure or system you build ultimately rests on its materials. The hidden strength, durability, performance and safety of those materials make all the difference. At Kiyo R&D Lab, our material analysis services – Kiyo R&D Lab offering is designed to give you that clarity: not just “what is it” or “what it looks like”, but deeper insight into how it will behave, why it might fail, and what you can do to control it.

Why material analysis matters

In sectors like automotive, aerospace, energy, electronics, construction, packaging, and consumer goods, the difference between “works” and “fails” is often hidden in composition, microstructure, and processing history. Material analysis answers practical questions:

What is this material? (alloy grade, polymer type, filler/reinforcement, phases)
Will it perform in service? (mechanical, thermal, chemical, electrical properties)
Has it changed? (ageing, contamination, improper processing, environmental attack)
Why did it fail? (fatigue, corrosion, creep, poor adhesion, voids, inclusions)

Bottom line: you get evidence, interpretation, and a clear recommendation—not just a data dump.

What we test (typical scopes)

Metals & Alloys

Chemical composition, hardness, tensile/impact, metallography, grain size, microstructure, fracture surfaces, corrosion & coating integrity.

Polymers & Rubber

DSC/TGA for transitions & stability, melt flow, Shore/DIN hardness, tensile/elongation/tear, ageing, filler/ash, FTIR identification.

Composites

Fiber/matrix ID, fiber volume fraction, interlaminar strength, voids/porosity, thermal behavior, delamination and failure analysis.

Paints & Coatings

Adhesion, impact, thickness, gloss, chemical resistance, cross-hatch, salt spray, peel-off, flame & fire point for bitumen/varnishes.

How our process works

Problem framing: We capture your use-case, environment, specs, and known issues. No generic “panel of tests.”
Tailored plan: We select only the methods that answer your question—saving time and cost.
Execution with traceability: Calibrated equipment, controlled conditions, repeatable procedures.
Interpretation: We connect results to root causes and practical options.
Actionable report: Clear findings, visuals, and “what to do next.”

Where this changes outcomes

Supplier qualification: Verify incoming lots match spec before production.
Design & prototyping: Choose the right material/grade and validate process windows.
Failure prevention: Catch fatigue, stress-corrosion, thermal degradation, or poor adhesion early.
Regulatory & customer audits: Provide documented, defensible evidence from an independent lab.

What sets Kiyo R&D Lab apart

Decision-focused reporting: We highlight risk, limits, and options—not just numbers.
Flexible scope: From a single quick check to full root-cause investigations.
End-to-end support: Sampling guidance, test execution, results walk-through, and follow-up.
Local access, global quality: Chennai/Kumbakonam presence with rigorous lab practices.

Example questions we answer

“Why did this part crack?”

Metallography/SEM to see fracture mode; hardness/tensile to check embrittlement; process audit to fix quench/temper or polymer cooling profile.

“Is my coating robust?”

Adhesion, impact, thickness uniformity, chemical resistance, and accelerated corrosion to validate real-world durability.

“What polymer grade is this?”

FTIR for identification, DSC/TGA for transitions and stability, MFI and mechanical tests to confirm grade equivalency.

Get the most from testing

Share environment/load/temperature/chemical exposure and expected life.
Send representative samples (and “failed” pieces if relevant).
Use findings to adjust design, processing, or supplier contracts.
Don’t wait for field failures—prototype and batch-qualification save far more.

Ready for clarity?

Send your sample and requirements. We’ll respond with a focused plan, timeline, and quote—then deliver evidence you can use.

Need student support? Final-year engineering students can enquire about project testing assistance and seasonal discounts.
