Metcut excels at examining and evaluating coatings, and certifying coating quality. We also provide the comprehensive training necessary to properly test and evaluate coatings and other surface treatments in your own facilities.

We established the Central Coatings Lab in 1995 to improve trainees’ understanding of coatings analysis and to promote a consistent industry-wide evaluation system. Our classes focus on standardized metallographic preparation, mechanical testing, and interpretation. The techniques and standards we teach meet the requirements of General Electric Aircraft Engines Quality Specification S-459. We also continue to expand our certification training.

Metcut Research conducts round-robin testing for both domestic and offshore coatings suppliers. We’re now offering online class registration! To view the upcoming CCL class schedule and register online, visit the Central Coatings Lab website.
