Metallurgical Testing Services FAQs

Metallurgist services analyze the properties, structure, and performance of metals to ensure they meet industry standards for strength, durability, and corrosion resistance. These services are critical for quality control, material selection, and failure prevention in industrial applications.

Industries such as oil and gas, aerospace, automotive, power generation, marine, and chemical processing rely on metallurgical testing to ensure the integrity of their materials and welded components.

We offer tensile testing (yield strength, ultimate tensile strength, elongation), hardness testing (material resistance to deformation), and impact testing (Charpy V-Notch test for fracture resistance).

Metallographic analysis involves microscopic examination of a material’s microstructure to verify phase distribution, detect defects, and confirm proper heat treatment. This helps ensure quality control and material performance.

We conduct corrosion resistance tests such as ASTM A923 (intermetallic phase detection), ASTM A262 (intergranular corrosion testing), ASTM G48 (pitting and crevice corrosion resistance), and ASTM G28 (acidic environment corrosion resistance).

Hardness testing assesses a material’s resistance to wear and deformation. It is crucial for ensuring materials can endure high-load applications without excessive wear or failure.

ASTM E562 is a method used to measure the volume fraction of different phases in a metal through manual point counting. It ensures proper microstructural balance, phase distribution, and overall material integrity.

We strive to provide fast and reliable turnaround times, depending on the complexity of the test. Contact us to discuss expedited services if needed.
