Way back in 1884, at the dawn of civilization of the Italian industry, Terni Metallurgical Industry was born and with it the largest metallurgi-cal plant Terni Co., founded in response to a strategic need for military application. The large demand for products from the Italian Navy, in fact, required that the industry be located in a geographically strategic position. This choice would have been a key factor for develop-ment towards an integrated and diversified production. At the end of the Second World War , the Italian metallurgical industry was thoroughly reorganized: production was focused on power generation and industry. Within this scenario, the Terni plant assumed a role appropriate to its experience and its resources, specializing in the production and processing of high quality steel. This activity made Terni Co., today Società delle Fucine srl, one of the first manufacturers in the world capable of producing a wide range of medium and heavy forgings through advanced manufacturing techniques.
Società delle Fucine has carried out the technical knowledge and innovative willingness features of the centenary industrial producer "Terni". The operational structure of the Company consists of the Office Building and the Plant that are located in Terni (100 km north-east of Rome) and are well connected by road and rail with regard to internal communication network and are served by the Rome and Perugia airports and from the Civitavecchia and Livorno ports for international connections.
The manufacturing unit of Società delle Fucine, covering an area of 120,000 square meters, produces a wide range of forgings made from carbon steel, stainless medium and high alloyed and stainless steels.
The Company's products are intended for application in the primary sectors of the economy such as energy production and industry, where absolute reliability is required to ensure safety at work and, at the same time, economic benefits.

TESTING AND TEST METHODS
ACCREDITED TEST METHODSTHE HISTORY OF MECHANICAL TESTING LABORATORY OF SOCIETÀ DELLE FUCINE
The need to characterize steel forgings manufactured and marketed by SdF required the presence of a laboratory able to demonstrate the conformity of the mechanical properties of materials to the requirements of international standards and customer specifications. First included in the larger laboratory of the mother company ThyssenKrupp Acciai Speciali Terni, the SdF Mechanical Testing Laboratory was inaugurated in October 2007 in an area specially set up within SdF.The machinery and devices of the laboratory are equipped with the latest technology, used exclusively by highly qualified personnel in controlled environmental conditions.Management processes are regulated by a system accredited according to the international standard UNI EN ISO/IEC 17025 and supported by an IT System designed and developed to meet the needs of the Laboratory.
MACHINERY, EQUIPMENT AND DEVICES

All the machinery and equipment in service at the laboratory are subject to regular calibrations performed by accredited calibration centers and subjected to numerous internal midterm checks.
SYSTEM MANAGEMENT CERTIFICATION AND ACCREDITATION
The quality management system of SdF Mechanical Testing Laboratory comes within the broader enterprise management system, certified according to ISO 9001 and ASME Code Sec. III NCA-3800 (Materials for the Nuclear market).
In 2012, moreover, the Company has obtained the accreditation of Mechanical Testing Laboratory in accordance with the international standard UNI EN ISO IEC 17025, thus having having aknowledged the skills of the personnel and the adequacy of the test methods used by the recognition of this accreditation in key international agreements:- Mutual Recognition Agreements (MRA)- Recognition of equivalence of accreditation activities carried out by all States parties
within the accreditation system operated by IAF-ILAC internationally and EA at European level.
THE MACHINING SHOP FOR SPECIMEN PREPARATION
All cutting operations on testing materials and specimens preparation in accordance with the requirements of the applicable rules are executed in the workshop of the laboratory, equipped with modern machining tools. The workshop uses cutting machines (band saw), two Numerical Control milling machines, a welding machine and a Numerical Control machining center that allows the realization of the specimens done with tolerances of less than one hundredth of a millimeter in a few minutes. The workshop is also equipped with touchscreen computers connected to the network with the testing room, the system allows the monitoring of the workload of the workshop and the progress specimens for each test listed in the program.
IMPACT TEST
The impact test on Charpy pendulum is a method used to evaluate fracture toughness and flexural strength.
By running multiple impact tests at different temperatures it is possible to determine at what temperature the material begins to show a brittle fracture.
Subjecting a specimen to a growing unidirectional deformation it can determine the values of yield strength, breaking elongation and contraction of a material.
The same test described above can be conducted while maintaining the sample at a temperature set to evaluate the behavior of the material in the case where its final use foresees high operating temperatures.
Through dimensional evaluation of the impression imprinted by a spherical indenter on the flat surface of a material, this test determines the hardness of the same (resistance to permanent deformation).
Through dimensional evaluation of the impression imprinted by a conical indenter on the flat surface of a material, this test determines the hardness of the same (resistance to permanent deformation).
The bend test provides a visual indication of the ductility of the material (base material or welded area) by means of its bending driven at a predetermined angle.
Evaluating the propagation of a crack caused by a bat striking the specimen with an energy set determines the Nil Ductility Temperature (TNDT) of the material.

LABORATORY INFORMATION SYSTEM
The information system designed and built according to the specifications provided by the Laboratory is integrated with the information system of Società delle Fucine and allows for optimum management of both internal testing and tests for external customers. This system collects instructions for testing and implementation of the specimens and, through the monitoring of all the intermediate steps, manages the flow of material from its acceptance to the identification of the individual sample by laser marking machine.
