INDUSTRIES SERVED

Metals & Alloys

Data you can rely on, expert metallurgists you can trust.

Metals serve as the basis for some of our economy’s most critical industries, from construction to aerospace. At RJ Lee Group, we understand the importance of these materials and provide a comprehensive range of services to ensure their integrity, performance and compliance. Our metallurgical laboratory serves as a problem-solving partner, augmenting the technical capabilities of our clients with a wide array of services.

We provide critical problem-solving metallurgy resources as wide ranging as root cause failure analysis, evaluations of the effect of melt practice on finished products, characterization of coatings and surface treatments, examination of nanoscopic thin films, and the analysis of melt shop waste streams for recoverables. Our networked instruments allow clients to virtually witness their analyses in many cases.

We can serve as an extension of your own  laboratory, providing critical resources for your technical team to meet tight deadlines, handle volume demands, perform in-depth analysis, and more. Clients can submit samples for our team to process, or you can schedule time to work with our staff on our instruments. You get improved resolution and imaging with reduced downtime because our metallurgical analysis laboratory boasts the largest commercially available suite of electron microscopes in the United States.
