Testing Services

Chemical Analysis

Laboratory chemical analysis including Gas Analysis and Optical Emission Spectroscopy to identify elemental composition and gas content in metals and alloys.

Corrosion Testing

Corrosion testing for austenitic stainless steels and aluminum to measure susceptibility to intergranular attack, pitting, and exfoliation.

Mechanical Testing

Tensile, hardness, impact, bend, shear, proof load, and tube flattening tests to verify material performance.

Metallurgical Testing

Metallographic evaluations including grain size, alpha case, alloy depletion, microhardness, delta ferrite, and plating thickness.

Weld Testing

Weld procedure and performance qualifications plus impact, tensile, bend, and metallurgical evaluation of welded joints.

Durometer Hardness Testing

Metaltest provides durometer hardness testing in the two most common scales; ASTM D2240 type A and type D scales. Durometer, like many other hardness tests, measures the depth of an indentation in the material created by a given force on a standardized presser foot. ASTM D2240 durometer allows for a measurement of…

Electrical Conductivity Testing (eddy-current)

Metaltest provides electrical conductivity testing for determining the electrical conductivity of nonmagnetic metals using the electromagnetic (eddy-current) method. This test is applicable to metals that have either a flat or slightly curved surface and includes metals with or without a thin nonconductive coating.…

Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM)

Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) is an important tool for materials and failure analysis. SEM Lab, Inc. can provide high magnification, high resolution images of samples at magnifications up to 50,000x. Plastics, glasses, or ceramics are commonly examined and require no special coating to be viewed in our SEM.…
