FILAB laboratory provides metallographic examination services as well as chemical analysis services for your metals. Our cutting-edge analytical fleet allows us to analyze both ferrous and non-ferrous metals.

Your needs : to analyze your metals

To assess the reliability and the compliance of your metal parts, you need to carry out testing on your metals. The analysis of metal samples is a key step both in a regulatory context but also to avoid the appearance  of defects during the production process.

Various metal analyses

For manufacturers, laboratory analyses of metals cover a variety of fields, aimed at ensuring the quality, performance and conformity of the metallic materials used. Here are the main categories of analysis:
Chemical analysis

Chemical analysis aims to determine the chemical composition of metals, making it possible to check their purity, identify alloying elements and detect impurities.

Mechanical analysis

The analysis assesses the mechanical properties of metals, such as tensile strength, hardness, elasticity and ductility, to identify how materials behave under specific loads and conditions of use.

Metallographic analysis

Metallographic analysis examines the microstructure of metals under the microscope, providing information about the material's physical and mechanical properties.

Thermal analysis

Thermal analysis studies the behaviour of metals at different temperatures, including phase transformations, thermal expansion and decomposition reactions.

Failure analysis

Failure analysis aims to identify the causes of material failures, such as fatigue, fracture or corrosion. It is essential for improving manufacturing processes, product design and materials selection.

Why use a metal analysis laboratory?

Metal analysis laboratories are often commissioned by the metallurgy industry to address issues relating to the quality, performance and conformity of metal materials and products.

Metal analysis enables the chemical composition of alloys and metals to be checked, ensuring that the materials used meet the standards required for specific applications, thereby avoiding the risk of failure. In addition, these analyses help to identify and understand the causes of failure, such as corrosion, fatigue or fracture, enabling improved manufacturing processes and material selection.
