Metallurgy Service

Metals and alloys have been used extensively in personal appliances and industrial instruments due to their excellent mechanical property, as well as electrical and thermal conductivity. Among different types of biomaterials, a favorable combination of high strength and resistance to fracture that metals provide warrants their reliable long-term implant performance in major load-bearing situations. The processing and composition of metals and alloys determine their microstructure and that in turn determine properties. For example, carbon steel which is also known as mild steel is useful for making car body parts because it is easily pressed into shape. By increasing the carbon content, mild steel can be hardened. Another example is that tool steel contains tungsten which provides its good resistance to high temperature. The metallurgy laboratory at Matexcel specializes in the processing and testing of different types of metals and alloys. Our metallic and alloy services include:
