Material identification and verification of metals and alloys is critical for safety, performance, and liability reasons. Traditional metallurgical analysis methods like melting parts are complex and time-consuming, so most machine shops guess materials. Precision Products invested in X-Ray fluorescence equipment to non-destructively test metals and alloys in seconds and determine exact compositions, ensuring parts are correct and minimizing customer risk and liability while ensuring performance. The portable XRF device also tests incoming raw materials to identify any mislabeling which could be disastrous depending on the part's application.

1. Material idenficaon and verificaon of
metals and alloys are crical for any machine
shop or customer interested in safety, part
performance and liability. There are many
negave issues that can occur if parts are pro-duced
out of the wrong material and the out-come
ranges from bad to disastrous.
With today’s stringent customer require-ments
from a liability point of view, we simply
can’t afford to make mistakes when it comes
to material idenficaon. Tradional methods
of metallurgical analysis involved melng the
part to determine its exact elemental make
up. Due to the complexity and me line of
this type of tesng, most shops simply guess.
Precision Products took a different approach
and invested in sophiscated X-Ray fluores-cence
equipment. With this device we can
now test virtually any metal or alloy in sec-onds
and determine the exact content in a
non-destrucve test. This assures you the cus-tomer
that everything we supply is absolutely
correct and minimizes your risk and liability as
well as ensuring you that each part will work
properly in its intended applicaon.
Not only does this device allow us to test the
finished parts we send to our customers, but
it also allows us to test incoming raw materi-als
as well. It is not uncommon to find incom-ing
raw materials that are mislabeled, which
could be a disaster depending on the applica-
on of the finished part. Our rigorous ISO
9001:2008 quality system has procedures
that requires us to maintain the documenta-
on for each part tested and we can supply
you with these cerficaons on request.

PPI Metallurgical Analysis
In addion to “in-house” uses of the XRF technology Precision also
offers cerfiable metallurgical tesng for customers. This includes
tesng of metals as well as plascs to determine if they contain heavy
metals such as lead, arsenic or any other heavy metals. This is a very
economical service and can be done at our facility or the customers
depending on the size of the part to be tested. The XRF device is port-able
and can be carried to your locaon to test large samples for fast
and easy alloy idenficaon. The device idenfies over 350 standard
alloys and gives detailed elemental analysis of any alloy not in its da-tabase.
The output files are 100% court admissible and our staff of
cerfied operators are trained and ready to assist you as needed.
