Laboratory Capabilities Matrix
All material testing capabilities supported directly by the client profile.
Microstructural & Metallurgical
Microstructure Analysis
Microscopic examination of grain phases, constituent morphology, and thermal treatment condition.
Ferrite Content Measurement
Quantitative determination of delta ferrite in austenitic and duplex stainless steel welds and castings.
Grain Size Determination
Measurement of average grain size and distribution in metallic matrices.
Inclusion Rating
Evaluation of non-metallic inclusion content and classification in steel products.
Macrostructure Examination
Low-magnification etching to evaluate weld penetration, segregation, flow lines, and solidification patterns.
In-Situ Metallography
Field replication technique for microstructural assessment of in-service equipment without cutting samples.
Mechanical & Hardness Testing
Microhardness Testing (Vickers)
Low-load hardness evaluation of thin layers, coatings, case depth, and heat-affected micro-zones.
Hardness Testing (Brinell & Rockwell)
Macro-hardness testing across diverse metal alloys, castings, and heat-treated fabrications.
Tensile Testing
Evaluation of ultimate tensile strength (UTS), yield strength, elongation, and reduction of area.
Impact Testing (Charpy)
Evaluation of energy absorption and notch toughness characteristics across specified temperatures.
Wear Testing
Assessment of material wear resistance under defined contact and abrasive conditions.
Chemical, Surface & Failure Investigation
Chemical Analysis / Spectroscopy
Quantitative elemental chemical analysis for precise alloy grade classification.
Coating Analysis & Thickness
Evaluation of surface coatings, plating layers, and adhesion integrity.
Surface Evaluation & Roughness
Measurement and assessment of surface finish and topographical condition.
Failure Analysis
Root-cause metallurgical investigation of fractured, corroded, or failed industrial components.
SEM / EDAX Examination
Scanning Electron Microscopy and Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy for micro-area elemental and fracture morphology analysis.
In-Situ Metallography & Surface Replication
Non-destructive microstructural examination directly on high-temperature boiler headers, steam piping, and pressure vessels without cutting samples.
In-situ metallography allows plant engineers to assess microstructural degradation, thermal aging, graphitization, and creep damage on active industrial components. Using high-precision surface preparation, portable polishing equipment, chemical etching, and cellulose acetate replication films, our metallurgists capture accurate microstructural replicas for optical microscope analysis.
