FAQ

Why use a metal analysis laboratory?

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.

Which metals can FILAB analyze?

We analyze all types of metals and alloys: steel, stainless steel, aluminum, copper, brass, nickel alloys, titanium, precious metals, coatings, and specialty materials.

Which techniques do you use for metal composition testing?

ICP-AES, ICP-MS, OES, XRF, SEM-EDS, XRD, metallography, hardness testing, and more, depending on your material and requirements.
