Laboratory Services
The ATL laboratory monitors and checks many aspects of our internal operations, from chemical tank, legionella and coating testing through to material identifications. The laboratory is a critical part in assuring the product safety and quality that ATL supplies.
Our laboratory also undertakes external services for customers across a variety of industry sectors who require external analysis or validation of their own testing. These services generally involve metallurgical analysis and include:
Metallurgical Preparation
Preparing samples for testing is a fundamental part of delivering an accurate test result.
- Our lab has all the required equipment to section, mount and polish samples prior to analysis.
- Chemical etching is used as part of a metallographic analysis or as a pre-NDT check. This technique removes the top layer of material to allow a better view of the crystalline structure of the alloy.
Life Analysis / Grain Structure Analysis
Techniques here are used to determine if a part can go through the repair process or if it needs to be retired from service.
-
- SEM microscopy
– Material identification
– Failure analysis - Optical microscopy
- Coating assessments
– Diffused coatings
– Thermal barrier coatings - Welding assessment
- Braze assessment
- Hardness testing
- Part repair recommendations
- SEM microscopy
Whatever your industry and whatever your metallurgical testing requirements are, ATL’s laboratory analysis services can help give you the third-party check and/or confidence you need to clearly understand the condition of your parts.
Our team will work with you to define your requirements, set out a scope and analysis regime and then undertake the work for you, delivering a comprehensive report of our findings.
