We were tasked to identify entrapped particles in a finished machined component.  Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDX) analysis provided the necessary spectra to trace the particles back to the grit blasting media. #rootcauseanalysis #Shotblast #Gritblase #Forensicemetallurgy #engineering #sheffield #metallurgy #metallography #manufacturing #mechanicalengineering #SEM #EDX #scanningelectronmicroscope #failureinvestigation

SEM photograph after Energy-Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDS) analysis was conducted on a tiny metal specimen, measuring approximately 2mm. Our objective? To establish its point of origin so our client can perform a thorough root cause analysis. #SEM #EDS #Rootcauseanalysis #matetialsengineering #metallurgy #Sheffield #investigation #metallography #materials #RCA

Spheroidal graphite in cast iron with approximately 90% nodularity. SG nodular cast iron, also known as ductile iron, is distinguished by its unique microstructure. Unlike grey cast iron, which contains graphite flakes, SG iron has spheroidal graphite nodules. The superior mechanical properties resulting from the nodular microstructure make SG iron a versatile engineering material.

Tensile test on 718 alloy in accordance with ASTM E8/E8M. (Video is run at 8x speed to shorten the length and the camera stand wasn’t the best hence the shaking, but you can clearly see the elongation before fracture). #tensiletest #tensiletesting #inconel #nickelalloy #oilandgas #aerospace #testing #astm #sheffield #mechanicaltesting

A262 Practice E corrosion test bubbling away nicely. Practice E also known as the Strauss test is a method used to determine the susceptibility of austenitic stainless steel to intergranular attack. #corrosiontest #strausstest #sheffield #oilandgas #testing #metallurgy #corrosion #bendtest
