Our laboratory is expert in metallurgical analysis and the analysis of alloys such as nickel, offering advanced expertise in determining chemical composition and physico-chemical properties.
Your need: perform an analysis of nickel and its nickel-based alloys
Rarely used pure but often alloyed with other metals, nickel is now one of the most common addition elements in metal alloys.
Nickel alloys are highly resistant to heat and corrosion, allowing them a wide range of applications.
Nickel is a resistant, ductile and high temperature stable metal used in many industries:
Analysis of nickel alloys
Nickel alloys such as Iconel, Monel and Nickel-Chrome have a variety of properties and are used in many industrial sectors.
The FILAB laboratory performs comprehensive analysis of nickel alloy composition to help optimize production and recycling processes or any other needs you may have as an industrial user.
We identify alloy elements and measure concentrations to meet the technical specifications of each project.
Analysis of nickel composition
Analysis of nickel composition ensures that materials meet the required quality standards.
Our laboratory offers a service dedicated to the verification of the chemical composition of nickel and its alloys, measuring the proportions of chemical elements such as chromium, iron, copper.
These analyses enable the validation of material compliance for applications demanding in terms of durability and resistance.
Inconel alloy composition analysis
Inconels are superalloys based on nickel and several other metals such as chromium, molybdenum, iron and titanium. The most commonly used alloys in this family are Inconel 600, Inconel 625, and Inconel 718. They have the special feature of being extremely resistant to corrosion and heat.
The analysis of the composition of inconel allows to control the quality of the material and ensure that it meets the specific requirements of each sector, in terms of durability, conductivity and resistance to mechanical stress.

Stainless steel contain nickel but are based on iron. Nickel-based alloys have nickel as their main element, offering better resistance to high temperatures and extreme environments.
Yes. Thanks to suitable sample preparation methods (mineralization, acid digestion, filtration...), nickel can be analysed in water, polymers, metals, dusts, cosmetics, textiles, etc.
By nickel release tests (e.g., EN 1811 standard for jewellery), or by surface analysis for coatings.
Yes, and it is largely recycled, including from stainless steels, alloys, batteries or production residues.
