What it's all about...
Our metallurgical testing includes microscopic and macroscopic examination of metals to determine metallurgical structure, verify heat treat effectiveness, measure decarburization and conduct metallurgical investigations.

Capabilities

  • State of the art Nikon inverted metallurgical microscope with built in Polaroid camera for high resolution black and white photomicrography. A color video camera, monitor and printer are attached for color photomicrography. Magnifications from 50X to 500X are possible. Photomicrography is in accordance with ASTM E883.
  • Color video macro camera with stand and color monitor and printer for taking macro photographs of samples and parts.
  • Three wet abrasive saws for sectioning samples.
  • Buehler mounting press, belt grinder, grinding wheels and polishing wheels for preparing samples for viewing on the microscope. Sample preparation is in accordance with ASTM E3.
  • H720 Magnaflux unit for wet magnetic particle inspection. Several magnetic yokes are available for dry magnetic particle inspection. Magnetic particle inspection is for metallurgical analysis only - we are not equipped to handle large production runs.
