OCAS is an active research centre in metallurgy, coating and application development. It provides metal-based products and services on ferrous and non-ferrous alloys, sheet, plate and wire-based metal samples, optionally coated. Applicational focus is on both experimental testing and numerical modelling of in-use properties such as formability, weldability, resistance to fatigue, wear and corrosion. OCAS supports durability and lifetime estimation of metal structures by large-scale testing of components using unique engineered in-house equipment.
