The Borçelik Metallurgy Quality Laboratories are responsible for metallurgical and chemical controls, tests and analyses related to Borçelik Production Lines parameters, raw material, products and other customer concerns in accordance with Customer Technical Service Department demand.

Metallurgy Quality Deparment carry out these works on four main locations.These locations are namely;

Raw Material Entry Control Laboratory

CGL2,CGL3 and CR Mechanical Testing Laboratory

CGL1 Mechanical Testing Laboratory

Central Laboratory

All laboratories are equipped with evenly distributed test devices and staffed by qualified and competent personnel, according to the needs of the plant.

The resources of the laboratories are carefully documented and calibrated, and their polyvalance status and working environment and conditions are strictly controlled.
