Many industries rely on thermal spray coatings to ensure durability of parts that will be subjected to wear, high heat, corrosion and other harsh in-service conditions. Metallographic evaluations confirm material performance is consistent under operating conditions.
Increased machining speeds can often affect the characteristics of feedstock material. High speeds generate more heat, which can have an impact on both the tool and the work piece. Aggressive machining evaluation provides data to help mitigate production problems.
Microstructural evaluation is a valuable analytical tool for the aerospace, automotive and construction materials industry. The results of a thorough examination help predict environmental behavior, reactions to mechanical processes and appropriate final product applications.
Microhardness testing produces data identifying individual phases, orientation effects in single crystals, diffusion gradients, aging phenomena, etc. in metallic and ceramic materials.
Metallography is the art and science of preparing test samples for accurate evaluation of a materials microstructure. Advanced techniques are utilized in sample sectioning, mounting, grinding, polishing and etching to maximize microstructural exposure.
Welder qualification and weld evaluation for OEM's and vendors. Qualification to the AWS, European Directive, and ASME standards can involve visual, impact, macroetch, tensile and bend testing.
