Analysis of metal alloys for the automotive industry
Coming from the automotive industry, you wish to analyze your metal alloys
What is an alloy?
First, an alloy is a metallic compound of varying purity containing a principal metal and one or more other elements (metallic or not).
Furthermore, alloys are homogeneous and solid compounds whose properties depend greatly on their composition. Thus, alloys have specific properties and well-defined fields of use.
For example, alloys based on aluminum or steel will be particularly used in the automotive field because of the lightness of one and the strength of the other.
Automotive industry, why analyze your metal alloys?
The analysis of metallic alloys may be necessary in various contexts:Â
- As part of the development of a new product (choice of material)
- As part of a material control
- Following a failure problem (breakage, corrosion, surface defect…)Â
It is also important to ensure that the alloy used is suitable for the field of application, with the support of a specialized laboratory.Â
