Scanning Electron Microscopy / Micro-Analysis
Scanning Electron Microscopy and Energy Dispersive Spectrometry SEM/EDS
Our Scanning Electron Microscope and Energy Dispersive X-Ray Spectrometer (SEM/EDS) can examine and analyze samples at magnifications from 5X to 200,000X. Both the microstructure and fracture surface are analyzed.
The fracture surface topography revealed at high magnification indicates:
- type of stress (tensile, shear, torsional)
- mode of fracture (ductile, brittle, fatigue, overload)
- direction of fracture propagation
- area and mechanism of fracture initiation
- manufacturing or repair related factors contributing to the failure
- other factors related to cause of failure
MTi has two commercial SEM/EDS systems and is one of very few labs with these systems that is strictly dedicated to metallurgical analysis and corrosion-investigations in the Southeast.
SEM/EDS Chemical Analysis
Chemical Analysis of microscopic particles or regions within a sample analyzed in the Scanning Electron Microscope. Energy Dispersive Spectrometer (EDS) micro-analysis is performed by measuring the energy and intensity distribution of X-ray signals generated by a focused electron beam on the specimen (EDS). With the attachment of the energy dispersive spectrometer, the elemental composition of materials can be obtained.
