Metallurgical Testing on Steel, Stainless Steel, Aluminum & Cast Iron – Your One-Stop Metal Testing Lab
Titan Metallurgy is the accredited metal testing lab manufacturers, engineers, and quality teams trust to verify performance, ensure compliance, and prevent costly material failures — all under one roof. Our A2LA-accredited lab specializes in metallurgical testing on steel, stainless steel, aluminum, and cast iron, delivering fast, accurate, and actionable results for clients in automotive, aerospace, energy, construction, and beyond.
With in-house metallurgists, modern equipment, and 20+ years of experience, Titan offers both standardized and custom evaluations tailored to each material type. Whether you’re qualifying materials for a critical project or troubleshooting failures in the field, our lab provides the clarity and confidence you need to move forward.
We routinely test carbon and alloy steels, austenitic and martensitic stainless grades, wrought and cast aluminum, and gray, ductile, and malleable cast iron — send one sample or fifty, and get every material tested under a single work order.
Metallurgical Testing on Steel
As the most commonly tested material at our lab, steel metallurgical testing is central to our capabilities. We evaluate carbon, alloy, and tool steels using a wide range of methods to assess composition, structure, and mechanical behavior. Testing services include:
- Chemical composition analysis (OES, spark testing)
- Microstructure analysis (grain size, phase evaluation, inclusion rating)
- Jominy testing for hardenability (ASTM A255)
- Tensile and hardness testing
- Failure analysis and fracture evaluation
We test materials for automotive components, structural steel, industrial equipment, and more.
Metallurgical Testing on Stainless Steel
Titan Metallurgy provides metallurgical testing on stainless steel to support corrosion resistance, strength, and weld integrity requirements. Common tests include:
- Chemical analysis to verify alloy type (e.g., 304, 316, 410)
- Sensitization testing (e.g., ASTM A262)
- Hardness and tensile testing
- Microstructural evaluations to identify delta ferrite, sigma phase, or intergranular corrosion
- Weld quality assessments
We support sectors like welding, food processing, chemical processing, medical, and marine with stainless-specific expertise.
Metallurgical Testing on Aluminum
Aluminum’s lightweight properties make it essential for transportation, aerospace, and electronics. Our metallurgical testing on aluminum focuses on alloy verification and mechanical performance:
- Optical emission spectrometry (OES) for grade identification
- Hardness testing (Brinell, Rockwell)
- Tensile testing for strength and ductility
- Microstructure evaluation to assess grain size, porosity, or phase distribution
- Failure analysis for fatigue, cracking, or weld issues
We regularly test wrought and cast aluminum alloys like 6061, 7075, and A356.
Metallurgical Testing on Cast Iron
From engine components to pipe systems, cast iron plays a key role in industrial infrastructure. Our lab tests gray, ductile, and malleable cast irons with services including:
- Chemical analysis (carbon content, silicon, manganese, etc.)
- Microstructure evaluation (graphite type, matrix structure)
- Hardness and tensile testing
- Fractography and defect characterization
- Failure analysis and heat treatment evaluation
We help ensure that castings meet required mechanical properties and design expectations.
