Chemical analysis of Tin-based alloys : one of FILAB2s many skills
Tin is a precious and somewhat rare metal which can be found in ore : cassiterite. It is one of the ingredients in Bronze and is resistant to corrosion due to the formation of a protective oxide layer. Tin and tin-based alloys are used in the food and electronics industries as well as in silverware or in decorations.
For over 30 years FILAB laboratory has been providing metallurgical analysis services to hundreds of clients for tin based samples under ISO 17025 accreditation.
FILAB laboratory is able to provide its expertise and specific skillset for the analysis of Tin and its alloys.
