METALLOGRAPHY

Metallographic microstructure evaluations include sample preparation (machining, cleaning, mounting, polishing), stereomicroscopic evaluation and two photomicrographs.

Available evaluations include:

  • Grain size
  • Depth of decarburization
  • Plating thickness
  • Inclusion rating
  • Macro-etch
  • Cast iron classification
  • Detecting undesirable phase
  • Degree of banding
  • Volume fraction count
  • Effective case depth
  • Microhardness
  • Phase identification
  • Defects classification
  • Surface discontinuity evaluation
