This laboratory tests high temperature alloys and specializes in strain and load controlled fatigue testing at low and high frequencies, crack propagation testing, threshold testing and fracture toughness.

Exova Lancaster is one of the world’s foremost fatigue and fracture mechanics testing laboratories. The facility has a prestigious global clientele within the aerospace sector supplying directly to airframe and aircraft engine original equipment manufacturers (O.E.M’s) as well as through the entire supply chain.

Recognised as a Centre of Excellence for the testing of high temperature alloys the laboratory specialises in strain and load controlled fatigue testing at low and high frequencies, crack propagation testing, threshold testing and fracture toughness. The laboatory now offers a comprehensive suite of tests for the testing of non-metallic composite materials to the aerospace, defense and power generation sectors.

Working in partnership with sister Aerospace laboratories, Exova Lancaster is able to offer a full suite of tests across all techniques and material types.
