Quality

X-Ray Fluorescent Technology

Gilligans operate the latest precision XRF analytical technology as part of quality control.

XRF is a proven technique for material analysis and is used in the surface finishing industry for analysing coating thickness of metal finishes and metal alloys finishes.

Benefits of analysis by XRF include:

• Minimal or no sample preparation
• Non-destructive analysis
• Rapid analysis - results in minutes

Laboratory Facilities

Our in-house laboratory ensures full compliance to all our supplier solution operating parameters

With our extensive knowledge and vast range of analytical techniques, we ensure stringent quality controls are monitored and maintained for optimum process solution and in doing so providing a superior coating deposit to give assurance that our plating process will provide the ultimate in corrosion protection.

Salt Spray Chamber

ASTM B117 & ISO 9227 Neutral Salt Spray Standard

We operate the latest design in Salt Spray (Fog) Apparatus in accordance with ASTM B117 & ISO 9227 standards ensuring the company maintains a continual high standard of quality & accuracy of results to meet customer's specifications.

The test demonstrates the relative resistance to corrosion of coated metallic specimens when exposed to a salt spray climate.

Heat Treatment (AMS2750 Compliant)

Our furnaces have the latest technology to comply with AMS2750/ NADCAP / CQI-9 requirements to Class 2, Type B whilst also meeting and exceeding the API (American Petroleum Industry) 6A furnace calibration standards for the gas and oil industry.

We comply with the AMS 2750 pyrometry specification that focuses on continual improvement in the Aerospace industry by employing procedures, calibration data, timelines, record archiving, thermocouple guidelines and applications, System Accuracy Testing (SAT) and Temperature Uniformity Surveys (TUS).
