Manufacturers and consumers alike are impacted by materials and product failures. When contamination, failures or defects occur, determining the cause is imperative.
Our diverse professional staff partners with the client to develop sampling and analytical procedures to identify and solve unique materials problems. Also specializing in root-cause failure analysis and litigation support, we determine how and why materials fail and provide practical solutions.
The performance of materials can be predicted by analyzing its microstructure. The microstructure contains details about the chemical composition and the constituents of the material. RJLG utilizes many techniques including scanning electron microscopy (SEM) to analyze microstructures. We have a fully functional metallography lab capable of preparing specimens (grinding, polishing, etching) to reveal the microstructure for analysis. Our staff can provide a variety of information about microstructure including:
- Grain size
- Hardness
- Phase morphology
- Phase balance
- Phase identification
