Welding

Microstructure of a Stir Weld Joining Two Aluminum SheetsWhether a tiny laser weld on an implantable medical device or a multi-pass weld on a stainless steel forging, MEE has the specialized tools for the examination and evaluation of welds and welding processes. A metallographic cross section and microhardness test performed by one of our experienced staff can provide the valuable information for procedure development or welder qualification.
