SEM-eds Analysis
Metallurgical analysis reveals the microstructural condition and makeup of your materials with macro, micro, and SEM examinations.
Along with microstructure, these analyses reveal information on processes performed on the material during manufacture and whether or not the materials meet the required specification(s) to ensure durability in the intended use.
VARCHU MARC LLP experienced metallurgists evaluate defects, determine structural features, identify alloys, evaluate the effects of heat treating, and ensure materials characteristics align with specifications. Failure cause analysis services can be provided when material performance doesn't meet specifications.
At our metallurgical analysis laboratories, we use advanced metallographic polishing techniques, leading to accurate analyses of base metal, alloy, or coating. We offer aggressive machining evaluations, thermal spray coatings evaluations, corrosion evaluations and comparative material analysis.
