Metallurgical Analysis

Metallurgical analysis reveals the condition and makeup of your materials with macro, micro and SEM examinations. These analyses reveal microstructure, processes performed on the material during manufacture and whether or not the materials meet the required specification(s) to ensure durability in the intended use.

 

By utilizing state-of-the-art equipment, advanced polishing techniques and expert experience, MTT's metallurgical lab staff can get you the images and data you need.

 

We are experienced in classical techniques of metallography, as well as the latest preparation methods. Our advanced polishing techniques also allow us to prepare and analyze challenging materials and samples. See our specialty preparation list below.
