FILAB supports you in alloy substitutions
Compliance with international regulatory changes, improvement of the quality of articles, etc. are all challenges that structure your innovation, whether you are a large group or a small business.
To validate a substitution alloy, tests on a supplied sample are necessary before implementing the ultimate step of integration of the new material. With the scientific experience of doctors in chemistry and materials, an approval for the Research Tax Credit (RTC) and unlimited access to international databases such as Sci Finder and Sciencesdirect, FILAB accompanies you and carries out your identification of substitute alloys
For more than 30 years, FILAB has been providing metallurgical analysis services on alloy samples and alloy substitutions to several hundred customers, some of which are COFRAC ISO 17025 accredited.

FAQ
Alloy testing is the process of analyzing the chemical composition and properties of metallic alloys. It ensures that materials comply with international standards, perform reliably in their intended applications, and are free from harmful impurities. Accurate testing is essential for industries such as aerospace, automotive, energy, and medical devices.
Our alloy analysis laboratory tests a wide variety of materials, including aluminum, titanium, stainless steels, nickel and copper alloys, tin, and high-performance superalloys. We also provide substitution studies to compare and qualify alternative alloys.
FILAB uses advanced analytical methods such as Optical Emission Spectrometry (OES), ICP-AES / ICP-MS, SEM-EDX, XRF, CHONS analyzers, and XRD. These allow us to deliver precise results, even at trace levels, for a complete understanding of your alloy’s composition and structure.
Yes. Our laboratory provides alloy substitution studies to identify alternative materials when certain alloys are unavailable, too costly, or need to be replaced for performance reasons. We compare the composition and performance of different alloys to recommend the most suitable option.
