Metals and alloys are particularly well-suited for structural and load-bearing uses because of their malleability, ductility, strength, and performance across temperatures[1]. Scientists and engineers are striving to develop metals, alloys and composites that are strong, light, durable and against corrosion. From superalloys to amorphous metals, new discoveries are on the rise. Alfa Chemistry have professional first-class instruments to accommodate your QA/QC or R&D testings for metals, alloys and metallurgy. We can examine metal samples to detect surface and internal flaws, determine microstructural features, evaluate heat treatments and ensure performance to the required specifications.
