Alloy Steel Analysis Testing
From materials selection to composition verification, SGS MSi uses state-of-the-art equipment to provide chemical analyses of alloy steel and other metals.
Composed of carbon and iron, the properties of alloy steel vary based upon the amount of carbon, overall impurity level, and the percentage of added alloys.
During chemical analysis of alloy steel, SGS MSi is committed to ensuring the safety, reliability and performance of your metal sample. We use chemical analysis to determine: (1) whether manufacturing processes will alter the alloy steel’s structure and performance, (2) whether the sample is susceptible to corrosion or other damage, and (3) whether the sample has internal flaws that could lead to substandard performance. Upon completion of alloy steel analysis, you will receive a detailed report of all testing results, and our engineers will discuss the results with you in depth.
