What is Data Center Alloy Identification Testing?
The Applied Technical Services Family of Companies (ATS FoC) performs data center alloy identification testing to verify the chemical composition and dependability of critical materials.
Alloy Identification is the process of determining the alloy’s chemical composition. This testing can identify and quantify the alloy’s elemental makeup, helping determine its chemical and physical properties and conformance to specific alloy grades. Additionally, it serves as a quality control measure to verify the alloy’s fitness for service.
How our Alloy Identification Services Support Data Centers
In data centers, confirming the chemical composition of construction materials helps ensure the safety of the building’s framework. Similarly, server racks and cooling systems rely on structurally sound metals that effectively dissipate heat for optimal performance.
An alloy’s elemental composition plays a crucial role in how the metal will perform when in use. By confirming a metal’s compliance and alloy grade, our technicians can help improve uptime and maintain operational integrity. The ATS material testing labs can support your material identification needs with tests, including but not limited to:
- Positive Material Identification (PMI)
- X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF)
- Optical Emission Spectroscopy (OES)
- X-Ray Diffraction (XRD)
- LECO Combustion
- Failure Analysis
Commonly analyzed materials include superalloys, titanium alloys, carbon and alloy steels, copper alloys, stainless steels, and aluminum alloys. Whether analyzing steel beams or cooling system alloys, ATS can determine the elements in a wide range of samples.
