EDS Material Analysis
Applied Technical Services performs EDS material analysis to identify a subject’s chemical and elemental composition.
What is EDS Analysis?
EDS, also known as energy-dispersive spectroscopy, consists of using a focused scanning electron beam via electron microscope to stimulate a subject material’s atoms. This results in the emittance of characteristic x-ray spectrums that are specific to the type of element being analyzed. Our highly trained EDS material analysis experts are then able to closely examine these electromagnetic emissions and identify any unknown materials present. Energy-dispersive spectroscopy is a highly effective method for identifying physical and chemical properties of a test subject. The ATS metallurgy lab is capable of performing EDS material analysis on several types of materials, including but not limited to:
- Alloys
- Corrosion Products
- Metal Plating
- Coatings
- Contaminant Particles
- Inclusions
- Polymer Filler Material
- Wear Metals
Applied Technical Services conducts EDS material analysis alongside our SEM (scanning electron microscopy) services and performs all SEM-EDS testing and analysis services in adherence with ASTM E1508.
