Metallography Testing Services
Gravitas Laboratories Pvt. Ltd. specializes in metallography testing, a critical field that examines the microstructure of metals and their alloys. Our expert team prepares metal samples through cutting, mounting, polishing, and etching techniques to reveal their intricate microstructures. These structures are then analyzed using advanced optical and electron microscopes to uncover various microscopic properties, ensuring that materials meet industry standards.
Metallography Testing
Metallography can be defined as the science and art of studying the microstructure of different metals and their alloys. In metallography, the surface of a metal sample is prepared through various methods – including cutting, mounting, polishing, and etching – to reveal the metal’s microstructure. This microstructure is then analyzed using optical or electron microscopes to reveal the different microscopic properties of the test piece.
