Experienced technicians and metallurgists work closely with analytical and physical testing groups to provide an overall view of material characteristics so that problems can be identified and solved quickly. Non-destructive microstructure evaluation of finished parts can be performed by prior arrangements.
Replication is also available.
And many other Examinations Nomarski interference contrast, dark field, and oblique illumination are also used. Our computerized image analysis system is used for fast and accurate statistical evaluation, as well as viewing of specimens with multiple observers at the same time. An attached EDS X-ray analysis system is available for identification of particles with dimensions of only a few microns. Testing under customer witness and direction can also be accommodated by prior arrangement. Rockwell hardness tests are performed using the latest instrumentation for easy and accurate results on all scales covered in ASTM E18.
