Services We Offer: 

Metal Testing

To ensure quality, performance, and safety of your materials, Mettex provides several unique metal testing services.

1. Positive Material Identification (PMI) Testing

Through handheld XRF technology, we offer chemical analysis which proves or disproves the presence or absence of certain metals and alloys in your products to meet ISO metal standards and regulatory measures.

2. Metallurgical Testing

We offer advanced metallurgical testing lab services, including:

XRF Metal Analysis: A non destructive technique for analyzing the composition of a metal using X-ray fluorescence.

Metal Hardness Testing: Assessing the first hardness properties of resources.

Metal Strength Testing: Determining the tensile strength co-efficients, yielding characteristics and fatigue endurance of metals.

Metal Failure Analysis: Analysis of reasons why certain materials fail in order to avoid poor quality and reliability.

3. Chemical and spectrometer testing chemical and spectrometer testing.

To evaluate the presence of detrimental elements included in a metal or for further characterization of heavyweight materials and alloys in various industries, we subject metals through chemical analysis.

ICP-OES & AAS: These methods enable the analyst to determine parts per million or parts per billion of the material.

4. Metallurgy & Microstructure Investigation

In electron metal testing and metal graph testing the show properties of materials at the micro level through microstructure testing.

Industry Specific Testing and Analysis

We focus on solution testing for sectors including aerospace & automotive, while adhering to major standards.

FAQ’s

1. Which kind of metal and alloy do you analyze?

Here are some of the ferrous and non ferrous metals and alloys that we use here; Carbon steel, stainless steel, copper, aluminum, nickel, titanium among others. We also offer tests for particular alloy used in Aerospace, Automobile, Construction, etc.

2. What steps do you take to make sure that your results of metal testing are accurate?

We employ modern testing methodologies such as ICP-OES, AAS, XRF and SEM for better testing process. All testing conducted in our lab follows international standards such as ISO or ASTM and AWS to make sure the results are correct and follow standard practice.

3. What is Positive Material Identification (PMI) and why can it be critical?

Since PMI testing is checking the composition of metals and alloys, PMI testing employs handheld XRF technology. This is vital for setting up material characteristics to the specific standards and reject harmful impurities, especially in application zones of high performances such as aerospace, automotive, etc.

4. Does your organization undertake certification of metals?

Yes, we offer full service metal certification solutions. The testing we provide assures that used materials are adherent to the required legal requirements such as being free from hazardous substances, RoHS compliance, ASTM, and ISO. We assist in ensuring that your materials are clean, quality, and suitable for several purposes as deemed appropriate.
