Product Composition Analysis of Metallic Materials-NOA Testing & Certification Group

Product Composition Analysis of Metallic Materials

Metallic materials are materials that have properties such as lustre, ductility, easy conductivity and heat transfer. They are generally divided into two types: ferrous and non-ferrous metals. Ferrous metals include iron, chromium, manganese, etc. Non-ferrous metals are all metals other than iron, chromium and manganese.

Steel is the basic structural material, called the "bones of industry", non-ferrous metals are the basic materials for the development of the national economy, aviation, aerospace, automotive, machinery manufacturing, electric power, communications, construction, home appliances and most other industries are based on non-ferrous materials for production. With the rapid progress of modern chemical industry, agriculture and science and technology, the position of non-ferrous metals in human development is becoming more and more important. It is not only an important strategic material in the world, an important means of production, but also an important material for the indispensable consumer material in human life.

The composition and content of metals directly affect the performance and value of the material, and a range of standardised testing methods have been developed by countries and industry organisations for the study and testing of metals.

We use classical chemical analysis methods, modern advanced analysis and testing instruments, according to GB Chinese national series standards, American ASTM series standards, HB aviation series standards, GJB national military standard series standards, YB metallurgical industry series standards, YS non-ferrous metal series standards, ISO international series standards, XB rare earth industry series standards, SN commodity inspection series standards, JB Chinese machinery industry series accurate Analysis and testing of the chemical composition of various metallic and non-metallic materials; in-situ analysis for the study of material distribution, in-situ analysis for the study of material composition distribution, segregation, looseness, inclusions content, composition and particle size, phase analysis services for the study of the type of each precipitated phase, crystal structure, particle size distribution and composition of materials.

NOA has a central laboratory of nearly 30,000m2, with organic, inorganic, physical and chemical, thermal analysis, mechanics, reliability, combustion and weathering laboratories. We can provide one-stop analysis and testing services for metal materials and products, such as raw material quality control, composition analysis, foreign matter analysis, performance testing and reliability testing.

Service Process

Q&A

What is brand identification?

Grade identification is the process of determining the composition of a sample and its proportions by means of instrumental analysis, and then determining whether it meets the requirements of the standard against which the material grade is provided.

What are the common types of hardness tests?

The so-called hardness is the ability of a material to resist harder objects being pressed into its surface. Depending on the test method and the range of adaptation, the hardness units can be divided into Brinell, Vickers, Rockwell, Micro Vickers and many others. Different units have different test methods and are suitable for materials or occasions with different characteristics.

What is the use of metallographic testing in metal testing?

Metallographic testing allows us to study metals in the macroscopic or microscopic realm, most notably, of course, the physical and chemical morphology on the microstructure. The metallographic test contains the grain size, type of second phase, structure, composition, quantity, morphology, size and distribution, etc. Metallographic examinations are mainly used in the analysis of metal fractures, the identification of metal defects and the confirmation of surface quality.

What equipment is commonly used for metal composition analysis?

Instruments for metal composition mainly contain: direct reading spectrometer, carbon and sulphur analyser, oxygen, nitrogen and hydrogen analyser, ICP spectrometer, ICP-MS, wavelength dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectrometer, metal in-situ analyser, pulsed fusion - time of flight mass spectrometer.
