Steel Alloys

Spectrometer Services offers accurate and cost-effective testing services for all types of steel and ferrous alloys:

  • Low alloy (NATA accredited)
  • Stainless (NATA accredited)
  • Manganese steel (NATA accredited)
  • Cast iron
  • Tool steel
  • Spring steel

Turnaround times of 24hrs for regular alloys are common, with competitive pricing.  Results are emailed immediately after the completion of the analysis.  Same-day express service is also available.

The analysis is performed on a spectrograph against a number of type-standards. The suite of elements commonly analysed in a routine test are:

Fe, C, Mn, Si, S, P, Ni, Cr, Mo, Cu, V, Nb, Ti, Al, and B.

Unusual alloys or additives are confirmed by other instrumental techniques and classical wet chemical methods.
