The Applied Technical Services Family of Companies (FoC) performs micro etching on alloys and metals in accordance with the ASTM E407 standard. Micro etching is important because it allows experts to develop a microscopic profile of a metal, which offers insight into the hidden characteristics and components of metals that are not visible when examined at a surface level. Our metallurgy analysis experts use their education and experience in conjunction with our lab and resources to ensure that our clients’ products and materials meet industry expectations and their internal expectations.
What is the ASTM E407 Testing Standard?
The American Society for Testing and Materials established ASTM E407 as a series of tests that serve as outlines for experts using etching methods to explore the solutions, methodologies, and safety needed to conduct microscopic inspection of metals and alloys adequately. The standard is especially relevant to the responsibilities of engineers, quality control experts, and metallurgical researchers because it informs them of effective ways to assess the microstructural features of metal materials.
