Metallography Testing
Service Overview
Metallography testing is a critical process in material science used to analyze the microstructure and properties of metals and alloys. This non-destructive or semi-destructive testing method provides insights into material characteristics like grain structure, phase distribution, inclusions, and surface treatments, ensuring product quality and performance. Below are the key aspects examined in metallography:
1. Microstructure Analysis : Microstructure examination reveals the arrangement of grains, phases, and defects in metals. It helps determine mechanical properties such as strength, toughness, and ductility.
2. Grain Size Measurement : Grain size influences a material's hardness and strength. Smaller grains typically enhance material strength (Hall-Petch relationship), while larger grains improve ductility. Grain size is measured using standards like ASTM E112.
3. Case Depth Measurement : For surface-hardened materials, case depth indicates the thickness of the hardened layer. It ensures proper wear resistance for components like gears and shafts.
4. Inclusion Analysis : Non-metallic inclusions, such as oxides or sulfides, can weaken a material. Inclusion analysis ensures purity and enhances performance in critical applications like aerospace and medical devices.
5. Decarburization Assessment : Decarb testing measures carbon loss from the surface due to heat treatment. Excessive decarburization reduces surface hardness and wear resistance.
6. Plating Thickness : Measuring the thickness of protective coatings ensures durability and corrosion resistance in harsh environments.
7. Welding Penetration : Welding penetration analysis evaluates the depth of fusion in welded joints, ensuring structural integrity.

Metallography Testing
Metallography testing is essential for understanding the structural and mechanical characteristics of metals and alloys, ensuring they meet required specifications for performance and reliability. It combines microscopic examination, surface analysis, and mechanical testing to study various properties of materials. Here is a deeper look into the critical aspects of metallography testing:
Microstructure Analysis
Objective: To examine the arrangement of grains, phases, and defects in a material.
Method: Prepared samples are etched and analyzed under optical or electron microscopes.
Significance:
* Identifies issues like porosity, segregation, and phase imbalance.
* Determines material properties like strength, toughness, and ductility.
* Helps in failure analysis and optimizing heat treatment processes.
Grain Size Measurement
Objective: To quantify grain size using microscopic images.
Method: ASTM E112 provides standardized procedures for grain size analysis.
Significance:
* Smaller grains increase strength and hardness (Hall-Petch relationship).
* Larger grains improve ductility, useful in forming applications.
* Grain size control is critical in applications like turbine blades and automotive parts.
