Case Histories- An Introduction
he case histories provided below illustrate the capabilities of Anderson Materials Evaluation (AME) in solving materials-related challenges. These examples highlight the power of our analytical techniques in addressing a wide range of materials problems. Due to the proprietary nature of much of our work, these case histories are selectively chosen to demonstrate our capabilities without revealing proprietary client information or novel materials under development.
Some case histories are created to showcase the effectiveness of our analysis techniques, while others involve complex natural minerals or everyday materials encountering unexpected issues. Most of our analytical work is conducted for manufacturing companies, which are not fully represented here due to confidentiality agreements.
Examples of Case Histories:
- Ceramic Powder Identification on Floor Tile
- Complex Chemical Phase Analysis – Feldspar
- Complex Oxide Elemental Analysis – Emerald
- Corrosion Deposit on Hip Implant
