Understanding the Relationship Between Metallurgical Analysis and Metrology

Be it textile, automotive, plastic, rubber, firearms, medical, power generation or aerospace, every industry that manufactures products on a mass scale uses high precision machines for production and packaging. As a result, they now and then need extrusion parts to be replaced or repaired in these extrusion machines. Before any spare extrusion part may be supplied, it is a must to identify and verify the raw material it uses. This involves metallurgical analysis that identifies the metals/ alloys  being used in a particular extrusion part.  Metrology, on the other hand, is the science of measurement in use during heavy metal testing.

Any supplier of extrusion parts, who is solemn about supplying stringent quality cannot do without serious metallurgical analysis of broken/malfunctioning high precision parts needing repair/replacement. Any mistake in identification of raw material may lead to disastrous results, as well as, undesirable delay in the production process.

On the other hand, skilful application of metrology during the analysis helps the vendor to accurately adjudge the true condition of the damaged machine part and its real worth. The vendor is thus able to identify the exact metals/alloys/raw material needed to replicate the part for seamless replacement.

While buying extrusion parts from any vendor, it is, therefore, recommended to choose a ISO 9001:2008 certified supplier only. Care should be taken that the vendor/supplier has expertise in reverse engineering of your parts. This will ensure that  you would not only buy value for money high precision parts, but also enjoy optimally performing machines day after day.
