Chemical Analysis

Alloy composition is often a key parameter when determining a material’s specification. Our laboratory offers rapid analysis by optical emission spectroscopy (OES) to analyse for all the key elements in steel and stainless steels. Other materials which our lab can assist in the chemical analysis of include aluminium alloys, cast irons, copper alloys and nickel alloys.

For components which need non-destructive testing or for testing of coatings or surface layers, testing can be undertaken by either our portable x-ray florescence (XRF) instrument or by the energy dispersive x-ray (EDX) spectroscopy system on our scanning electron microscope (SEM).
