Our
Analytical Lab works closely with our physical and metallographic laboratories as a
problem-solving tool in case of material failures. In addition, you can rely on
our Analytical Section for material-overcheck tests, referee tests, and product
verification tests as an independent source.

Utilizing conclusive spectrometer
technology in conjunction with ICP and Graphite Furnace AA, ensures quick
turnaround by eliminating the need for lengthy wet chemical tests. |
Our
Analytical Lab also employs Optical Emission Spectrometry (OES or Arc Spark) for
routine analysis of metals and their alloys. The OES has been designed
specifically to meet the demands of quality assurance in the metal production
and metal testing industries. OES technology is used for quick turnaround
analysis of Iron, Aluminum, Cobalt, Titanium, and Nickel-based alloys.

Carbon,
Sulfur, Hydrogen, Oxygen, and Nitrogen content in steel and titanium is
determined by the inert gas fusion thermal conductivity method (ASTM E1019 and
ASTM E1447) utilizing Leco
instrumentation. |
The analytical section has the capability
to run various corrosion tests. The susceptibility to intergranular
corrosion in wrought, nickel rich, chromium bearing, and stainless steels is
detected using ASTM methods G 28 and A 262. Our environmental test unit
is utilized for modified salt spray and copper-accelerated salt spray testing
(ASTM G 85 and ASTM B 368). Pitting and crevice corrosion (ASTM G 48) and Stress
corrosion cracking in boiling magnesium chloride solution (ASTM G 36 ) are among
the other corrosion tests that can be performed.
The ASTM B-117 Salt Spray Test is used to determine normal
corrosion resistance to ocean water type environments. The ASTM B-368 (CASS
Test) is widely used to evaluate aggravated conditions such as road salt on
automotive parts.
Typical materials analyzed include:
Iron
Aluminum
Cobalt
Titanium
Inconel Alloys
Low and high alloy Stainless Steels
