Metallurgical Associates, Inc. provides complete chemical analysis of metals and non-metals to determine composition and conformance to specification. Our Milwaukee Wisconsin chemical analysis laboratory analyzes metallurgical samples, polymers, and other materials for manufacturers around the world.

While a material may meet specification, elements at the high or low end of their specified ranges can result in significant variations in processing and performance, particularly in their response to heat treating. Metallurgical Associates, Inc. will provide an evaluation of these potential variations upon request. We provide chemical analysis of:
