Metallurgical Evaluation to Avoid Problems from Defects
Metallurgical evaluation services are useful for detecting surface and internal discontinuities on test samples, determining microstructural features and assuring conformance to required specifications. Laboratory Testing's metallurgical engineers can analyze your samples to reveal a wide-range of information or perform a failure analysis, should the need occur.
The first step in metallurgical evaluation is test sample preparation. Test samples are prepared in our lab using precision cutting, mounting, polishing and etching. During the evaluation, we can document results using digital imaging with optical magnification to 1000X. Our lab is PRI/Nadcap accredited and extensive procedures are followed to assure reliable results.
Metallurgical evaluation is performed by LTI's engineers using a wide range of Microscopic, Macroscopic and Microhardness examination methods. We have dependable sources for services such as SEM, EDS, XRD and some weld qualification:
