About Metallography Testing Services
Material Characterization and Microstructure Analysis
Material characterization through microstructure analysis is essential for evaluating properties like strength, corrosion resistance, and stability. The microstructure reveals the grain structure of materials in various conditions such as cast, wrought, heat-treated, or specially treated (e.g., carburizing, hardening).
This analysis also detects the presence of carbides, particularly chromium carbide, which is crucial in high chromium and nickel alloys.
Microstructure Analysis Tests Include:
- Micro Examination with Photographs
- Micro Examination for Welded Pipes
- Macro Examination for Forgings, Mock-ups, Fillet Welds, and Grain Flow
