Metallographic microscopy
Discuss sample preparation, observation methods and microstructural features relevant to your material.
Quality, from analysis
to finished material.
Explore our approach to material characterization, manufacturing and custom processing. Testing and production requirements are confirmed for each project.
Characterization and quality control.
Testing methods, sampling and acceptance criteria depend on the material and application. Please confirm the available tests, detection limits, report format and any third-party testing with your quotation.
ICP-OES composition analysis
For suitable samples, target elements, matrix, preparation and measurement range are confirmed before testing.
Oxygen and nitrogen analysis
Oxygen and nitrogen measurements are available for suitable materials; other gas elements and conditions require confirmation.
Chemical analysis
Methods such as titration and gravimetric analysis can be discussed according to the sample and required results.
Methods listed in company materials include XPS, TXRF, XRF, XRR, XRD, ICP-OES, ICP-MS, GDMS and EDS. Not every method applies to every material or necessarily uses in-house equipment. Phase identification by XRD, metallography, hardness and electrical conductivity measurements may also be discussed. Please specify any COA, third-party testing, dimensional tolerance or bonding inspection requirements.
Discuss testing requirements ↗Materials preparation through finishing.
Our work brings together powder metallurgy, vacuum melting, compound semiconductor processing and rare-earth metallurgy. Share your material, drawing and inspection requirements so we can discuss a suitable process.
- Rare-earth and elemental metals: reduction, purification, melting, casting and machining.
- Alloys: melting, casting, hot and cold working, and machining.
- Compound semiconductors: synthesis and forming of sulfides, selenides, tellurides, phosphides, arsenides and antimonides.
- Ceramics and salts: synthesis and forming of oxides, fluorides, nitrides, silicides, carbides, borides and salts.
- Cutting, precision machining and coating: discuss drawings, special structures and backing plate requirements with our team.
Facilities & equipment
Built around the material.
Selected melting, consolidation, and cleanroom systems across our manufacturing and R&D facilities.
