Suggestions for Testing Lab

[mewhg]

I am in need of a good testing laboratory. The ones near us just do not have the experience or equipment necessary.

The lab should be able to perform complete failure analysis with in house

*SEM
*Grain Size determination
*Retained Austinite determination
*experience with failures of investment castings

Any suggestions are much appreciated

I've worked with both MSI Labs, in Dayton, OH.

Metallurgical Services, Inc.

Metallurgical Solutions, Inc.

The first is a larger, "corporate" lab.

The second is a smaller, but fully equipped operation. I've had great interactions with Brian Joyce. I prefer working with Met Solutions.
