Metallographic laboratory

Metallographic laboratory renders the following types of services:


1. Rockwell, Brinell, Vickers hardness tests (micro-hardness).

2. Tensile strength testing of strips and wire made of ferrous and non-ferrous metals, and determination of rupture strength δb and elongation δ.

3. Microstructure analysis of ferrous and non-ferrous metals as delivered.

4. Structural analysis of defects in tools, parts and semi-finished products made of ferrous and non-ferrous metals.

5. Structural quality control of the tools, parts and semi-finished products made of non-ferrous metals.–

 The German metallographic microscope Axio Scоpe.A1MAT fitted with software allows solving the following tasks:

- microstructure examination after heat treatment of tube blanks, membrane and bellows blanks, parts of devices and units;

- incoming inspection of metals, welded seams, defects of parts and tools;

- software allows for calculation of parameters,

- measurement results can be printed out with microstructure photos.
