What Our Clients Say!
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is metallurgical and microstructural analysis?
What types of materials can you analyze?
What testing methods are used in microstructural examination?
We use a range of techniques, including:
- Optical microscopy
- Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM/EDS)
- Metallography (sample preparation, polishing, etching)
- Hardness testing
- Grain size measurements (ASTM E112)
- Phase analysis and inclusion evaluation
How long does it take to complete an analysis?
Turnaround times depend on sample complexity. Standard microstructural evaluations typically take 2–5 business days, while failure investigations or SEM studies may take longer. Expedited service is available upon request.
Do I need to prepare the sample before sending it?
No special preparation is required. Simply provide the material or failed component. Our laboratory will handle cutting, mounting, polishing, and etching as needed.
