Metallurgical Testing and Analysis

Request Information

The Rexnord Innovation Center has a long history of providing metallurgical testing services for ferrous and non-ferrous materials, alloy steels, polymers and composites. Additionally, the Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) allows our scientists to perform in-depth metallurgical analysis of failures and also determine chemical composition through Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS).
