The Analytical Laboratory at WMT&R 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) 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: |
