Metallography

Metallography

What we can do

Metallography is the study of metals’ microstructural properties under a microscope. The microstructure viewed under a microscope can be interpreted to bring forth information/data that can be used to asses quality and also explain the behaviour of metals. 

Grain sizing

  • The grain size of steel has a direct bearing on the mechanical properties of steel

Micro-cleanliness

  • This is a measure of non-metallic impurities content in steel. Impurities also have a bearing on the mechanical properties of steel

Ferrite count

  • This is a measure of the ferrite/austenite phase content in duplex stainless steels

General analysis and interpretation

  • This form of evaluation is carried out to basically understand why materials behave the way the do, determine what forms of metallurgical treatments the material was accorded and whether these treatments were carried out accordingly.

Franktech Metallurgical Services (Franktech) was born out of Frankwen Forge’s in-house test laboratory in January of 2003. The laboratory (i.e. in-house laboratory) was then renamed with the intention of divorcing testing from the parent company so as to provide complete impartiality to the testing activities and thus increasing the customer’s confidence level in the test results produced.
