Chemical testing is a process used to identify the composition and quantify the individual elements within a material. This type of testing is crucial in determining the properties of a metal or alloy, such as its strength, durability, and resistance to corrosion. In the metallurgical industry, chemical testing helps ensure that materials meet specific standards and are suitable for their intended use. It can involve various techniques, with Optical Emission Spectroscopy (OES) being one of the most common methods, allowing for precise measurements of elements in a wide range of metal samples.

Chemical Testing Services at ASR Metallurgy

​

1. Chemical Analysis Through OES (Optical Emission Spectroscopy):

At ASR Metallurgy, our Optical Emission Spectroscopy (OES) service offers precise chemical analysis across a variety of metals, adhering to international and national standards to ensure the reliability of our testing process.

​​

• Low Carbon Steel: Tested as per IS:8811-2018 and ASTM E415:2021, we determine the precise elemental make-up of low carbon steel to ensure its suitability for its intended applications.

• Cast Iron: Utilizing ASTM E1999:2018, our tests reveal the chemical composition of cast iron, a critical factor in its mechanical properties and quality.

• Tool Steel: Our analysis based on GIS 1253:2013 helps in identifying the elemental constituents of tool steel, ensuring its performance in demanding conditions.

• Stainless Steel: By testing according to IS 9879:1998, we assess the chemical stability and corrosion resistance of stainless steel, crucial for its varied uses.

• Aluminium Alloys: We conduct thorough testing following IS 11035:2014 and ASTM E1251:2017 standards to verify the composition of aluminium alloys, key to their lightweight and high-strength characteristics.

2. Salt Spray Test:

This test is essential for assessing the corrosion resistance of metallic surfaces. By simulating accelerated corrosive conditions, we can predict the longevity and durability of materials under exposure to salt spray. This is particularly vital for metals used in harsh environments.

​

Equipment Used:

• Atomic / Optical Emission Spectrometer: Our laboratory is equipped with cutting-edge spectrometers that provide fast, accurate, and detailed analysis of metallic samples.

• Salt Spray Test Chamber: We employ advanced salt spray test chambers that are designed to create a controlled corrosive environment, mimicking real-world corrosive conditions to test the endurance of coated and uncoated metallic specimens.
