Applied Technical Services’ metallurgy lab conducts laser grain size analysis. Our analysis services provide information on the microstructure of metals to determine their best uses.
What is Grain Size Analysis?
A metal’s grain size refers to the continuous lattice pattern in a small section of metal. Grain size affects the following physical factors.
- Fatigue Resistance
- Machinability
- Hardness
- Shock Resistance Strength
Manufacturers often analyze the grain size of metal structures to predict their performance in specific applications. Many applications require specific mechanical properties, so evaluating materials to determine their performance qualities is essential. Grain size analysis is also an investigative tool that can help reveal the causes of mechanical failure.
