Macroscopic testing refers to any method performed using little to no magnification, or any other instrumentation used to examine surface-level properties. These assessments focus on outward characteristics of metals and are often detectable by the naked eye. Our experts will use a variety of visual inspection techniques to evaluate the "big picture" - ensuring that the quality, integrity and properties of a material are what they should be.
Macroscopic evaluations are typically performed on finished products or treated metals, in addition to raw materials. Our macroscopic methods offer an efficient way to assess the overall condition of a material and can detect flaws or imperfections before a part goes into use or production.
Some of the tests that we offer include:
- Digital imaging
- Fractography
- Grain flow
- Macrostructure
- Surface discontinuities
- Surface roughness
- Visual inspection
