Spectral analysis & PMI
Verify alloy identity against the specified chemistry and material certificate. Routine PMI uses sampling; 100% inspection is available when requested.
Quality you
can verify.
Alloy identity. Mechanical performance. Traceable results. Define the evidence your project needs, from incoming material to final inspection.

Start with the
right specification.
Oil and gas, marine and high-temperature applications need more than a grade name. Agree the material standard, delivery condition and acceptance criteria before production.
SpecificationApplies toDefine for your order
Precipitation-hardening nickel alloys
Specify the UNS grade, product form, heat-treatment condition and required mechanical tests.
Specified nickel-alloy rod, bar & wire
Match the alloy and stock form to the specification; confirm chemistry and delivery condition.
Alloy 625 and other covered rod & bar grades
Confirm grade, condition and applicable tests. A raw-material specification alone does not define finished-fastener acceptance.
Project-specific pressure-equipment requirements
Identify the applicable Code section, edition and SA/SB material specification in the enquiry.
Material selection for H₂S-containing service
Provide the service environment, alloy condition and hardness requirements for a project-specific review.
The applicable edition, material coverage and finished-part requirements are confirmed for each order.
Verify the alloy.
Protect its identity.
Match incoming material to its certificate and heat identification. Elemental checks support the material record before that stock becomes a finished part.
Chemical analysis
Check the elements required by the material specification. The analytical method and reporting scope are selected for the alloy and acceptance requirements.
Measure performance.
Record the conditions.
Strength, hardness and toughness are evaluated against the agreed specification. Select the test method, sampling and acceptance limits for your material and application.
Tensile testing
Measure yield strength, tensile strength and elongation against the specified material condition and test temperature.
Charpy impact testing
Evaluate absorbed impact energy using the agreed specimen geometry, notch and temperature. Record the conditions alongside the result.
Hardness testing
Check hardness against the specified material condition. Agree the scale, test location and acceptance range before testing.
Testing at service-relevant temperatures
Low-temperature testing at −196°C and elevated-temperature testing above 700°C can be arranged. Confirm the test method, temperature, specimen and acceptance criteria with your enquiry.
Look beyond
the surface.
Metallography & grain structure
Examine prepared sections to assess microstructure and grain characteristics against the specified requirements. Relate the findings to the material condition and heat-treatment records.
Check the geometry
that matters.
Optical measurement supports inspection of profiles and critical dimensions. Define the features, drawing revision and reporting requirements in the inspection plan.
Define the examination
your material needs.
Non-destructive inspection
Include any required non-destructive examination in your enquiry. We review the method, material size, examination coverage and acceptance criteria before confirming the inspection route.
Reliable results start
with the specimen.
Preparation, notch geometry and conditioning are part of the test. Keep these steps connected to the material being assessed.
Specimen preparation
Prepare representative specimens for the required test method and retain their material identification.
Notch geometry inspection
Use optical inspection to check impact-specimen notch geometry before the test.
Specimen conditioning
Condition test specimens to the specified temperature before impact testing.
Keep the evidence
connected.
Link the material heat, manufacturing batch, test records and shipment identification. Sample retention requirements and duration can be agreed for your project.

Independent testing.
When your project calls for it.
Third-party testing and testing through a CNAS-accredited laboratory can be arranged on request. We agree the laboratory, relevant accredited scope, test items and reporting requirements before the work begins.

Project-specific inspection
Tell us if your purchaser requires an independent inspector, witness points or additional laboratory tests, so these can be reviewed and scheduled before production.
Your specification.
Your inspection plan.
Request a project-specific Inspection & Test Plan (ITP). Send the material grade, part drawing, application and required standards so we can define the checks and documents for your order.
