Metallurgical Testingidentifies the condition and makeup of materials, ensuring the product or component is fit for purpose. Metallurgical testing can verify that the metal received is in fact the metal you were promised by your supplier.
These services are also called Metallography Evaluation, Metallographic Examination and Metallurgical Analysis.
As metals are subjected to melting, cooling and working processes, the grains and crystalline structure change. The experts at Widmans Laboratory study the material’s microstructure and/or macrostructure to evaluate the effects on material properties.
