About Us

For over 20 years, Metallurgical Engineering Services has provided independent materials testing, failure analysis, and consulting services.  We specialize in the fields of electron beam services, thin film analysis, mechanical testing, corrosion, and environmental testing.  Metallurgical offers quality testing, modern equipment, an experienced staff, and rapid turnaround. 

The professional staff consists of doctorate level and experienced professionals in the disciplines of materials science, electron beam surface characterization, mechanical, and metallurgical engineering. 

Our modern facilities include a state-of-the-art electron beam lab  equipped with five Scanning Electron Microscopes.  These microscopes  provide EDX, Auger, and WDS for composition determination.  High magnification digital imaging allows us to identify fracture modes, corrosion, defects, and surface layers.  Auger microprobes provide thin film surface element detection and our FTIR units can quickly identify organic contaminants, microscopic particles, and unknown materials. 

Metallurgical's optical lab provides metallurgical inspection  of microstructures, thermal spray inspection, and corrosion analysis.  Our complete mechanical test facilities provide tensile, hardness, bend, fatigue, torsion, fracture toughness, and impact testing,

Typical projects include failure analysis of metal and polymer components, surface analysis of metal layers and films, mechanical testing of all materials, paint and coating testing, and environmental testing.  We perform ASTM standard and custom tests for a variety of materials. 

With our primary lab located in the Dallas area, we provide services to all industries worldwide.  Our flexible services allow us to offer mail order testing with rapid turnaround.  We encourage you to apply our teamwork to your most difficult challenges and enjoy the benefits of our specialized services.
