We have the capability to examine samples using Stereo and a Scanning Electron Microscope to identify the grain size and phase content together with any cavities or inclusions.

Microscopic Capabilities:

• Stereo Macroscope – x5 to x50 magnification
• Microscope – x50 to x2000 magnification
• Scanning Electron Microscope – up to x80000 magnification

Standard tests are conducted to international standards including:

• Grain Size Measurement – ASTM E112
• Phase Content – ASTM E562
• Inclusion Content – BS 7926

Our analytical equipment allows us to accurately determine chemical compositions using the following equipment.

• Spectro Maxx (Optical Emission Spectrometer, OES)
  – Analysis of solid metal samples of alloy bases Fe, Ni, Cu, Al, Ti & Mg

• Eltra C & S (Combustion)
  – Analysis of Carbon and Sulphur

• Eltra O, N & H (Inert Gas Fusion)
  – Analysis of Oxygen, Nitrogen and Hydrogen content of alloys
• Spectro Xepos (X-Ray Fluorescence, XRF)
  – Analysis of almost any material solid or liquid

If a specific analytical technique is not available in-house, our accredited, qualified and extensive network of approved laboratories complements our in-house capabilities.
