Lab Testing

Superior utilizes laboratory testing to design PDC to specific performance requirements.

Our battery of laboratory tests are designed to analyze the material properties of our PDC, the tests are designed to simulate a variety of the extreme application conditions to which PDCs are exposed.

Durability/Toughness

Static loading

Thermal stress-dilation

Catastrophic impact

Wear/Abrasion

Vertical turret lathe is utilized to evaluate the mechanical abrasion and thermal wear characteristics of PDC products
