Welding
Whether a tiny laser weld on an implantable medical device or a multi-pass weld on a stainless steel forging, MEE has the specialized tools for the examination and evaluation of welds and welding processes. A metallographic cross section and microhardness test performed by one of our experienced staff can provide the valuable information for procedure development or welder qualification.
Recent Projects Include:
- Characterization of titanium laser spot welds
- Characterization of weld geometry in a disimilar noble metal weld
- Fatigue failure at a weld in a cheese mold
- Fatigue failure in a steam line due to incomplete joint penetration
- Caustic stress corrosion cracking near welds in a chemical process pipe
