Chemical Analysis

Comprehensive testing for chemical analysis, corrosion testing & alloy verification to industry/customer specifications.

Keighley Laboratories delivers the highest standards in chemical analysis, corrosion testing and alloy verification, providing accurate qualitative and quantitative data through comprehensive testing procedures supported by industry recognised accreditations and approvals.

Our typical processes include: performing chemical analysis of metals and their alloys, destructively and non-destructively on ferrous and non-ferrous alloys, using techniques such as:
Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectroscopy (ICP-OES)
Atomic Absorption
Inert gas fusion – oxygen, nitrogen and hydrogen
Combustion analysis methods for carbon & sulphur
Classical Gravimetric, Volumetric, Photometric and other “Wet” methods
Component Cleanliness checks – debris weight and particle size
Intercrystalline/Intergranular & Pitting Corrosion
XRF Positive Material Identification/Alloy verification

Chemical analysis is also undertaken on some non-metallic materials including plating surface treatment solutions.
