Alloys, Metals, Metallurgical Materials Testing
Alfa Chemistry provides comprehensive testing services for alloys, metals, and metallurgical materials, supporting QA/QC and R&D needs. Our capabilities cover mechanical, chemical, physical, and microstructural analysis, as well as corrosion, fatigue, and failure investigations, helping evaluate performance, reliability, and compliance across diverse industrial and engineering applications.
Alfa Chemistry has professional first-class instruments to accommodate your QA/QC or R&D testing 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. Our analytical testing ranges from steel, metals and alloys, special metal materials, to imported metal materials, etc.
