Metallography Lab


Our engineers use this lab to conduct various steel application projects with our customers as well as to conduct material characterizations, trouble shoot production problems, conduct benchmark testing, compare materials, generate material properties data for the FEA modeling, and more.  Test capabilities include:

• Coating Thickness and Percent Iron Content Determination
• Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS)
• Metallographic Sample Preparation
• Microhardness Testing
• Optical Microscopy and Digital Image Acquisition
• Precision Material Sectioning Equipment
• Thermal-setting and Vacuum-impregnated Epoxy Sample Mounting
• Variable Pressure Scanning Electron Microscope (VP-SEM)
