Material & QA Testing

Quality starts with traceability. No one understands that better than Leeco® Steel.

Material Testing Explained

Leeco Steel helps customers maintain confidence in their steel plate through Material Test Reports (MTRs), certifications and heat number tracking. These records help verify material properties and support project documentation requirements.

Current customers can securely access material certifications, test reports and order documents in one in Leeco Pro – Leeco’s customer portal – making documentation management easier throughout the life of a project.

Material testing helps confirm steel plate meets specification requirements for chemistry, strength and toughness. Depending on the application, testing may include chemical analysis, tensile testing, impact testing and other verification methods.

Our team understands the testing requirements behind the grades customers rely on every day and can help navigate technical specifications with confidence. Material testing provides greater assurance that the steel selected is suited for its intended application and performance requirements.
