With over 40 years of metallurgical testing experience and an extensive metallurgical laboratory, Partek can provide Positive Material Identification (PMI) and Grade Identification at our laboratory or customer job site.
PMI
Partek’s spectrometer detects wave lengths of carbon to provide full characteristics of:
- Carbon & Alloy Steels
- Stainless Steels
- Aluminum Alloys
- Nickel Base Alloys
- Tool Steel
Grade Identification
Partek performs hardness and chemical analyses to identify any specific ASTM/API grade material.
Field Metallographic Replication
Partek uses a nondestructive sampling procedure that records and preserves the topography of a metallographic
specimen to determine the stress limits of metals. Our field metallographic replication services are especially
useful to the fabrication industry for rolling metals.
