ASTM E415

The Applied Technical Services Family of Companies (FoC) evaluates the composition of low alloy steel and carbon in accordance with ASTM E415 testing standards.
What is ASTM E415?
The American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) developed ASTM E415 as the standard procedure for determining the chemical composition of alloys and metals. During the procedure, technicians evaluate how a sample’s atoms react to a spark by observing how the atoms emit light at different wavelengths. The technicians use spark atomic emission spectrometry (AES) to separate light by specific wavelengths so that it can be analyzed. Upon completing the analysis, experts will have the information needed to determine the concentration of specific elements present within the sample.

Why is It Important to Test the Chemical Composition of Metals?
Depending on their intended use, manufacturers may expect their metal products and components to be able to do certain things or perform under certain conditions. By testing the chemical composition of metals, experts can gather enough information to evaluate a metal’s suitability for specific situations and applications. The chemical composition of metal can influence a wide range of essential attributes, such as:
Failure to evaluate a metal’s composition with a trustworthy and reputable lab such as ATS, may result in the following:
