Cleveland

Element Cleveland, formerly Stork Herron Testing Laboratories, is a 36,000-square-foot materials testing laboratory located just south of downtown Cleveland, Ohio, near the I-480 and I-77 interchange. Element Cleveland is an Additive Manufacturing Center of Technical Excellence.

 

Since the early days of the automotive industry, the laboratory has supported businesses in Ohio with materials testing and inspection. In 1911, metallurgists in the new laboratory tested Henry Ford's parts destined for the Model T.

 

Today, the laboratory's experts assist companies worldwide with Nadcap-accredited materials analyses including chemistry, mechanical testing, metallography, weld evaluation, and heat treatment. A state-of-the-art chemistry laboratory supports metals and alloy analysis using OES, ICP, ICP-MS, XRF, XRD, density measurement, and powder analysis. Integrated test specimen machining enables efficient project execution and reduced lead times.

 

Element Cleveland's failure analysis team provides workable solutions to companies faced with materials and product problems, and the laboratory supports customers across aerospace qualification, defense supplier testing, production support, incoming inspection, and material certification verification for a wide range of metallic materials.
