DETERMINE METAL MICROSTRUCTURE WITH METALLOGRAPHIC INTERPRETATION
Metallographic analysis is the study of a material’s microstructure. Analyzing materials’ microstructure helps to determine if the material has been processed correctly. Therefore, a critical step for determining product reliability and why a material failed.
Metallographic Examination tells us a great deal about a metal or alloy’s identity, composition and thermo-mechanical history. An experienced metallographic will be able to glean information on all these aspects from observation of the Microstructures at suitable magnification and using appropriate etching reagents.
In examining a Microstructure, our expert testing team classifies the observations in terms of color, grain size and shape, second phase shape, size and distribution (including porosity), and segregation effects.

Determine if the material has been processed correctly
Ability to spot something in the microstructure that is abnormal
