Metallography Laboratory
NETL researcher Dr. Richard Chinn
B26-202
NETL’s Metallography Laboratory focuses on studying physical characteristics of metal and alloys by examining the relationship between a materials composition and structure. The laboratory is capable of preparing polished specimens representative of the true microstructure of materials submitted for study. The laboratory houses a variety of equipment and instrumentation including grinders, polishers, mounting presses, and saws. Advanced microscopy techniques allows for materials analysis at the microscale. Visual and optical microscopic observation of metal surfaces and fractures can reveal valuable information about the crystalline, chemical, and mechanical makeup of these materials.
