If specific elements such as sulfur or carbon in steels need to be measured to high accuracy, we partner with another SGS testing facility to offer LECO Combustion Analysis.

Composition of an alloywikipedia

The composition of polymeric alloys is handled differently than metallic samples.  We work closely with you to develop a testing scope that meets your needs.  Applicable methods of analysis may include:

Chemicalcomposition of an alloy

The chemical composition and microstructure of most metallic samples can be determined through one or more of the following techniques:

Listofalloys and theircomposition

Composition testing for polymer blends is also possible using an appropriate set of analytical techniques.  For polymer blends, compatibility, phase separation, and microstructure are key aspects that determine the properties and performance of the material. The characterization techniques utilized are customized to your specific polymer blend and needs.

Samples used for metallic or polymeric alloy compositional analysis can be as small as a few grams, as long as the sample is representative.

We help you avoid unnecessary costs and unintended consequences for your critical projects and products so that you can go to market with peace of mind.

We support a wide range of materials and physical testing capabilities, as well as chemical analysis, leveraging innovative state-of-the art technologies.

Many metal alloys have specific compositions to achieve a desired strength, microstructure, or corrosion resistance.  Alloy Composition Analysis can be used to determine if a metal alloy’s composition meets expectations and whether any impurities may be present, affecting material properties and performance.
