Laboratory consulting
Method development for a new alloy, consumable selection, bench setup, or a result that will not repeat — worked from the manufacturer's published method.
Who we supply
Each sector prepares different metal for different reasons. Each page says what the work needs.
- Oil, gas and petrochemical Weld qualification, corrosion assessment and duplex phase balance. Much of the region's metallographic work, and most…
- Aerospace and MRO Turbine hardware, coatings and case depth, under specifications that name the method as well as the…
- Independent testing laboratories Third-party laboratories running to standard for many customers at once. The constraint is repeatability across operators…
- Universities and research Many materials, small quantities, and operators who change every semester. The constraints are almost the opposite…
- Automotive and metals production Production control rather than investigation: the same few materials, many samples a day, and a number…
- Construction materials and QC Reinforcement, structural sections, fasteners and coatings, tested against the specification a project was approved on. Volume…

8 published preparation methods. Each tier is a stage; each step links to the consumable it names.
Preparing aluminium alloys for metallography
Aluminium is soft enough to embed the abrasive that is preparing it and ductile enough to smear over…
4-step published methodPreparing carbon and low-alloy steels for metallography
Akasel publishes this route by hardness band rather than by alloy name, and most carbon and low-alloy steels…
4-step published methodPreparing cast iron for metallography
Cast iron preparation has one job: keep the graphite where it is. Nodule count, nodularity and flake classification…
4-step published methodPreparing copper and copper alloys for metallography
Copper is soft, ductile and takes a scratch from almost anything, including its own swarf. The published route…
4-step published methodEvery figure names its document and page.
A number on this site is a number a manufacturer published, and the row says in which document and on which page. Where the maker publishes nothing, the row stays empty rather than estimated.
