Materials Analysis for Metals & Metallurgy
Precise characterization of metals, alloys, and high-temperature materials for research, development, and industrial quality control
Metals and alloys form the basis of numerous key industrial technologies—from the automotive and aerospace industries to mechanical engineering, energy, electronics, and materials science. Their performance is largely determined by their thermal, thermophysical, and mechanical properties.
The development of modern metallic materials requires a deep understanding of phase transitions, thermal expansion, thermal conductivity, heat capacity as well as oxidation and high-temperature behavior. Precise analytical methods provide crucial information for optimizing alloys, heat treatments, manufacturing processes, and component properties.
With over 69 years of experience, LINSEIS offers high-performance measurement systems for characterizing metallic materials—from basic research and product development to industrial quality control.
