But how can you really know for sure? Wear-Concepts can test and accurately report the elemental analysis of your alloy sample at our Liberty, Missouri facility. The analysis will break down the composition into the following categories:
- Elemental chemistry
- Elemental percentages and concentration
- Alloy Grade ID
- Classification of metal type
How hard is your metal?
The hardness of metal depends on several factors. Composition, cast, density, and temper are a few of several components that determine hardness. But how can you really know for sure? Wear-Concepts can test it at our Liberty, Missouri facility. A ping test will sample a variety of locations to determine the overall Brinell or Rockwell hardness. Some types of metals that are routinely tested include the following:
- Mild steels
- AR plate
- Stainless
- Chrome carbide overlay
- High chrome white iron
- Sintered carbide
