Micro & Macro Examination
Comprehensive metallographic examination services to evaluate the internal structure, weld quality and manufacturing characteristics of metallic materials using advanced microscopic and macroscopic analysis techniques.
Detailed Structural Examination of Engineering Materials
Micro and Macro Examination are essential metallurgical techniques used to evaluate the internal structure, manufacturing quality and overall integrity of metallic materials.
At Om Metalab, specimens are carefully prepared through cutting, mounting, grinding, polishing and chemical etching before examination using advanced metallurgical microscopes and inspection equipment.
These examinations provide valuable information about grain structure, weld quality, inclusions, heat treatment, manufacturing defects and overall material performance.
Metallographic Examination Services
Our laboratory performs detailed metallographic analysis to evaluate material quality, weld integrity and manufacturing processes.
Micro Examination
High-magnification examination used to evaluate grain structure, heat treatment condition, inclusions, phase distribution and metallurgical characteristics of engineering materials.
Macro Examination
Low-magnification examination performed on etched samples to study weld profiles, grain flow, forging quality and other visible structural characteristics.
Weld Examination
Detailed inspection of welded joints to verify weld penetration, fusion, weld sequence and identify discontinuities such as porosity, slag inclusion and lack of fusion.
Photographic Documentation
High-quality micrographs and macrographs are provided as permanent records to support quality control, certification and technical investigations.
