Quality control of metal alloys according to ASTM and MIL-STD standards in the laboratory
Analysis and expertise of metallic alloys for critical applications using a materials laboratory
In the aerospace, defense, space, and electronics sectors, metal alloys form the core of critical structures and components.
Their performance and reliability depend on their chemical composition, heat and mechanical treatments, and the quality of their surfaces and interfaces.
Quality control of metal alloys is essential to prevent:
- Corrosion or premature embrittlement
- Deformation or cracking
- Non-compliance with standards
ASTM and MIL-STD standards define the quality and safety criteria that alloys must meet.
We understand the needs of manufacturers
Manufacturers use materials quality control when they need to:
- Verify the chemical composition of metal alloys
- Control the microstructure and homogeneity of materials
- Evaluate the effect of heat and mechanical treatments
- Ensure compliance with ASTM and MIL-STD requirements
- Prevent in-service failures in harsh environments
- Work on critical parts while preserving their integrity
