Metallurgical Testing Laboratory
The engineers and technicians at ASAP Metal Testing have extensive experience performing metallurgical testing services and examinations. We understand that metallurgical testing is the last quality inspection performed before your product ships to your customers. Our test results are on time – every time.
Metallurgical examinations are defined or described by ASTM Test Methods (American Society for Testing & Materials) or by other industry standards such as:
- ISO International Organization for Standardization
- ASME American Society of Mechanical Engineers
- SAE Society of Automotive Engineers
- AWS American Welding Society
- MIL-STD Military Standard
ASTM Standards are specific to material grades, heat treatments, or processing. Metallographic examinations are performed to identify acceptable or unacceptable conditions before shipping to your clients.
Typical ASTM examinations performed in our test labs every day are:
ASTM E112 - Grain Size Examination
ASTM E45 - Non-Metallic Examination (Methods A, B, C & D)
ASTM B487 - Measurement of Oxide Coating Layer
ASTM A247 - Graphite Microstructure Evaluation
ASTM E1077 - Estimating The Depth of Decarburization in Steel
ASTM A262 - Detecting Susceptibility to Intergranular Attack in Stainless Steel
SAE J423 - Methods of Measuring Case Depth
ASTM E381- Macrostructure of Bars, Bloom & Billets / Grain Flow Examination
SAE AMS 2301 - Steel Cleanliness
SAE AMS 2304 - Steel Cleanliness
Hardness / Microhardness Testing
ASTM A370 / E18 - Rockwell Hardness Testing
ASTM E384 - Microhardness Testing (Knoop & Vickers Indenters)
ASTM A370 / E10 - Brinell Hardness Testing
ASTM A255 - Jominy End-Quench Hardenability Testing
Most metallurgical testing services require sample preparation for microscopic examination. Exams can be performed manually or by using automated image analysis depending on the examination.
We at ASAP Metal Testing will ask the necessary questions to properly quote your project. Always discussed are:
- Industry Standard
- Number Of Samples
- Material Grade
- Heat Treat Condition
- Test Location
- Accept/Reject Statement Required?
We are also aware that the turn-around for testing projects can be a high priority. All quote requests submitted by email will be answered within one hour to help meet critical lead time requirements. Request a quote from ASAP Metal Testing, an accredited metallurgical testing laboratory, today.
