Metallurgical Microscope Analytical Service

Overview

A metallurgical microscope is designed specifically for examining the microstructure of metals and other solid materials. It uses reflected light rather than transmitted light, as metals and many solid materials are opaque. This microscope allows for high-resolution imaging of surface features, grain boundaries, inclusions, and phase structures, making it essential in materials science, metallurgy, and quality control. By revealing details about a material's composition, crystalline structure, and heat treatment effects, metallurgical microscopes help in assessing material properties, detecting flaws, and evaluating manufacturing processes.

Our metallurgical microscope can test several critical properties of materials, especially metals and alloys. Key properties it can analyze include:

1. Microstructure: Examines grain size, shape, and distribution, providing insights into material properties like strength and ductility.
2. Phase Composition: Identifies different phases within an alloy or composite, helping assess heat treatment effects and material homogeneity.
3. Inclusions and Impurities: Detects non-metallic inclusions or impurities that can affect mechanical properties and performance.
4. Surface Defects: Identifies cracks, voids, and other surface defects that may compromise material integrity.
5. Layer Thickness: Measures coatings or layers on a sample, such as oxide layers or surface treatments.
6. Grain Boundaries: Observes boundaries between grains, which impact material strength and resistance to corrosion.

These analyses are essential for quality control, failure analysis, and research in metallurgy, materials science, and manufacturing.

The instrument we used are: Leica DMI 8, ZEISS VERT.A1 etc.
