About Microstructure Testing Services

Mett-Bio Metallurgical Testing & Services with its state of the art equipment setup consisting of Inverted Metallurgical Microscope Complying to the Requirement of ASM Vol.9

Tests are performed in our ISO 17025:2017 NABL accredited lab under the standard Specified conditions or as per specific field conditions.

Our organization is offering an assorted range of Microstructure Examination. Microstructure examination is common to examine for metallurgical anomalies like third phase precipitates, and excessive grain growth. Many routine tests like phase counting or grain size determinations are performed in conjunction with micro-examinations.

The behaviour of metals stems from their microstructure, mainly because of unique fabrication methods and applied post-treatmentssuch as heat treatment and welding. At Mett-Bio, we conduct a microstructural analysis to study the material's reaction to processingmethods such as mechanical forming, heat treatment, and welding.

Our comprehensive microstructural analysis also assesses components lifespan, material degradation properties, and solutions during failureanalysis of creep and corrosion incidents. We organize a metallography through specific ASTM standards and image analysis software. Evenbetter, we can perform high magnification inspections from 50X to 1000X, and even higher, using SEM, TEM, etc. Before we examine thephysical structural composition of a metal, the specimen is prepared for analysis through rounds of cutting, grinding, polishing, etching, andmounting.
