- METALLURGICAL TESTING

Comprehensive Metallurgical Testing and Characterization
Our metallurgical analysis laboratory specializes in examining samples to identify surface and internal flaws, assess microstructural features, evaluate heat treatments, and ensure compliance with required specifications. We provide both microscopic and macroscopic examinations, along with microhardness testing, utilizing state-of-the-art equipment.
Our advanced scanning electron microscopy (SEM/EDX) allows for magnification up to 30,000X, enabling detailed microanalysis of samples and specific areas of interest. We document all findings and results using digital imaging microscopes, which offer optical magnification capabilities ranging from 7X to 1000X.
