Metallurgy, Steelmaking and Foundry Analysis and Expertise Laboratory
As a manufacturer, you are looking for a laboratory capable of carrying out metallurgy, steelmaking or foundry analyses.
From the design to the marketing of a product with metal components, you are faced with several types of problem, relating to :
- Controlling raw materials
- Substitution of metal alloys
- Understanding and anticipating the behaviour of materials in their environment of use
- The performance of surface treatments
- Optimisation of manufacturing and machining processes to reduce the risk of failure.
To help you solve these problems, the support of a reliable laboratory with high technical added value will enable you to better understand the changes taking place in the metallurgical sector, and to improve the efficiency of your business.
With the support of a reliable laboratory offering high technical added value, we can help you solve these problems, give you a better grasp of the changes taking place in the metallurgy sector, and improve the efficiency of your business.
The FILAB laboratory supports manufacturers in metallurgy and steel industry analysis
FILAB, a laboratory made up of experts in metallurgy and steelmaking analysis and failure characterisation, offers you its analytical services, from the design to the manufacture and implementation of a product with metallic components. Drawing on its experience and state-of-the-art analytical equipment, the FILAB laboratory has a wide range of tools specific to the metallurgy sector, enabling it to provide the following services:
Our metallurgy and steel analyses
The FILAB laboratory analyses the chemical composition of metal alloys, mainly using specific and ICP analysers.
The surface of a material is crucial to its interaction and performance, and influences the reliability and strength of the product. Knowing these properties helps to adapt manufacturing and treatment processes.
Characterisation of metal powders in accordance with the Ma-0015 standard for additive manufacturing
.
Our metallurgy and steel analyses
By analysing the imperfections in your metal alloys, we can determine their origins and impact. We carry out detailed analyses of failures to provide an in-depth understanding of their nature and scope.
Understanding the microstructure of materials is crucial for the development and manufacture of a new product or for improving an existing product that shows new anomalies.
Assessing the material compatibility between a container and its contents is essential to avoid pollution and related problems.
Laboratory metallography is the method used to analyse the structure of a metal alloy by examining it under an optical microscope (OM) following a dedicated preparation.
As an accredited training organisation, FILAB supports your teams in learning new methods of analysis and characterisation. Whatever your sector of activity, FILAB can help you with your analytical chemistry training.
