About Elmet LLC
Elmet LLC provides metallographic and metallurgical services. We are A2LA accredited (Certificate Number 5120.01: Mechanical) to ISO/IEC 17025:2017 and have specialized metallographic capacity strongly oriented towards the cross sectioning and inspection of circuit boards, connectors, clips and electrical devices both before and after thermal testing or other types of environmental testing. We have more processing capacity for circuit board cross sectioning and solder joint inspection than any other laboratory.
We also perform various types of material inspections on circuit boards and electrical hardware. All electrical devices have metallic components that can suffer damage or fail due to causes such as fatigue, corrosion, stress overload, dendritic growth, and fretting. These are metallurgical issues, not electrical issues, and a metallurgical perspective brings insight into the problem.
Elmet LLC primarily serves the automotive industry, but has experience working with the medical device, wireless communication, wearables, battery manufacturing, and power generation industries and more.
