metallic materials include pure metals, alloys and special metals, and can be used in a wide range of applications, including aerospace, machinery and computer hardware. with the growing demand for metal materials in various industries, a number of complex materials have come into being. the composition of the metal is the main factor in determining the performance of the material. understanding the composition and properties of the metal allows for better application of the material to the product. in production activities, we often have to face two questions, one is what the metal is made of and the other is whether a particular metal material meets the desired material requirements. by analyzing and testing the composition and properties of metal materials, it is possible to understand the composition of the material and to get to grips with its properties so that the quality of the product can be monitored and, in the case of faulty products, the causes can also be analysed and hidden dangers eliminated.
in modern engineering and construction, there are many different types of materials, all of which have different properties and can be used in many different areas. metal materials are essential for engineering projects, and they are becoming more and more diverse, with significant differences in performance and corresponding price differences. in order to help customers gain a comprehensive understanding of the performance of metal materials, find the right metal material, and effectively monitor in-service metal materials as a basis for product improvement and optimisation, noa offers a wide range of testing and analysis solutions for metal materials to help metal material manufacturers, traders and end-users identify, select and evaluate the appropriate metal material performance parameters we can help producers, traders and end-users to identify, select and evaluate the performance parameters of the corresponding metal materials, avoid potential risks and improve the economic efficiency of their projects.
testing of metallic materials metal composition analysis failure analysis of metallic materials
metallic materials are an essential part of any manufacturing process and due to their diversity, they exhibit different properties. with noa metal testing services, the properties of metal materials can be clarified to determine whether they meet the requirements of manufacturing, thus avoiding the risk of incorrect material selection and use.

metal materials are an essential part of any manufacturing process, and due to their diversity, they exhibit a variety of properties. with noa's composition analysis services, the properties of metal materials can be clarified to determine whether they can meet the requirements of manufacturing, thus avoiding the risk of incorrect material selection and use.
i. general testing items
1. five major element testing and full element quantitative analysis
2. identification of unknown grades
3. material review
ii. applicable product range
1. pure metals: pure iron, pure tin, pure aluminium, pure zinc, pure magnesium, pure copper, etc.
2. alloys: stainless steel, carbon steel, heat-resistant steel, alloy steel, copper alloys, nickel-based alloys, aluminium alloys, rare earth metals, rare metals, etc.
metals are an integral part of any manufacturing process, but they inevitably fail, in a variety of ways and for different reasons. failure analysis of metallic materials is therefore particularly important as a common means of avoiding errors in material selection and use and reducing risk.
