Our team specializes in resource materials analysis across a wide range of industries. We provide detailed analysis and testing services to help you understand the composition, structure, and properties of various materials. Therefore, we invite you to explore an overview of our expertise below:

Metals and Alloys

At AME, we excel in resource materials analysis for metals and alloys. We offer a comprehensive range of testing services to meet your needs:

• Thin Film and Multi-Layer Analysis: AME provides in-depth composition analysis of multi-layered metal thin film structures. This analysis includes evaluating the material’s composition as a function of depth.
• Surface Cleanliness and Treatment: We analyze sheet metal cleanliness and evaluate metal surface passivation. Furthermore, our expertise extends to anodized, galvanized, galvannealed, and painted metal surfaces.
• Thermal Properties: We measure melting temperatures of low-melting metals such as solders. Our team assesses the energy of precipitation reactions in aluminum alloys. We also determine the Curie temperature of magnetic phase transitions. Additionally, we evaluate the exothermic energy of intermetallic phase formation in Ni-Al and Ti-Al composite metal systems.
• Mechanical and Structural Analysis: AME conducts thorough metallographic and failure analyses of metal alloys. We rigorously investigate phase changes in materials like Nitinol. Moreover, we verify the specifications of supplied metal alloys.
• Adhesive Bonding and Coating Evaluation: We address adhesive bonding and coating issues by identifying contamination and surface treatment problems. Our team also determines the causes of failures in clear-coated and base paint-coated metal coils subjected to MEK double-rub tests, ensuring proper curing processes.
• Surface Chemistry Analysis: Our specialists identify surface chemistries that affect the flow of metal particles. We also analyze the flow of fireworks colorant particles and chaff particles.

Minerals and Mining Materials

Our resource materials testing capabilities extend to minerals and mining materials, where we offer precise characterization and analysis:

• Wear and Durability Testing: We investigate wear-related issues in rock grinding equipment. We then provide solutions to enhance equipment performance and longevity.
• Mineral Characterization: AME specializes in analyzing mined minerals. Our analysis includes clay particles like bentonite, diatomaceous earth, and sand materials. We also analyze gypsum, talc, abrasives, complex silicates, calcium and magnesium carbonates, glass-making minerals, gemstones, and iron ores.
• Valuable Metal Ores: We evaluate ores such as coltan and other valuable metal ores. This analysis offers insights into their composition and potential uses.
• High Purity Analysis: Our experts analyze high-purity materials, including antimony, zirconium, and iron oxides. Our rigorous methods ensure accurate results.

Paper and Packaging

AME offers comprehensive resource materials analysis for paper and packaging materials. We address various challenges and ensure optimal performance for your products:

• Medical and Pharmaceutical Packaging: We solve packaging challenges for medical and dental devices. We also analyze diagnostic materials and pharmaceuticals, ensuring their safety and effectiveness.
• Specialized Papers: We examine specialized papers used in medical diagnostics and other applications. Our expertise includes analyzing coated paper products designed for specific purposes.
• Coatings and Permeability: Our team analyzes paper and plastic materials with polymer coatings. This reduces water and gas permeability, ensuring their effectiveness in various environments.
• Printing and Surface Treatment: We address printing issues on paper and plastic materials. Our focus is on surface cleanliness, coatings, treatments, and wear-related problems.
• Packaging Sealing and Recycling: AME identifies causes of sealing problems in paper and plastic packages. Additionally, we analyze plastic packaging materials for recycling purposes.
• Polymer Analysis: We investigate how differences in polymer crystallinity affect ultrasonic sealing, latent energy of melting, and thermal expansion properties.
• Glass Transition Temperature: Our testing services include measuring the glass transition temperature of plastics used in packaging, including electronic integrated circuit packaging.
