Metallography laboratory

Based on the country’s growing demand for metal parts laboratories and the necessity to offer scientific, research, and consulting services in the realm of metal material selection, production method selection, and the optimization and reverse engineering of parts, the metallography laboratory of this company has assembled a team of skilled experts ready to provide services to the country’s industries. In this center, structural analysis of images prepared from the microstructure of various parts is conducted. These parts encompass ferrous and non-ferrous base components used in diverse applications within the automotive industry, aviation industry, medical industry and ceramic parts, and welded components. Structural analysis plays a crucial role in assisting engineers in predicting various material properties such as strength, toughness, hardness, thermal corrosion resistance, and abrasion resistance. It can also aid in preventing premature failure and corrosion in industrial applications, particularly in cases where limitations in dimensions or availability of samples prevent destructive mechanical research tests. Additionally, the analysis of fracture surfaces or corroded surfaces can guide experts in identifying corrosion or failure prevention methods, contributing to the overall improvement of industrial processes and materials.

Our metallography laboratory can provide a wide range of services including:

– Determination of grain size number
– Determination of decarburization depth
– Determination of phase percentage for various structures
– Determination of sphericity and graphite size in cast irons
– Welding metallography and macrography tests
– Making replicas and on-site microstructure studies
– Making a replica
– On-site structural inspections
