Additive Materials Testing
Luvak tests the feedstock powders and finished parts used in additive manufacturing, verifying the composition and interstitial content that drive part quality. As an ISO/IEC 17025 and Nadcap-accredited laboratory with more than 50 years in materials testing, we support powder qualification and incoming inspection with clear, traceable reporting.
What We Test for Additive Materials
Feedstock Powders
Composition and interstitial content.
Finished Parts
Composition verification of printed components.
Interstitial Elements
Oxygen, nitrogen, and hydrogen.
Powder Qualification & Reuse
Track composition across the lifecycle.
Our Analysis Methods
ICP Elemental Analysis
Inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES) to ASTM E2371, E1479, E2594, and E3061, on the SPECTRO ARCOS FHX22.
DCP Elemental Analysis
Direct current plasma emission spectroscopy to ASTM E1097 and E2371, on the Beckman Spectra Span VI.
Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy
Flame atomic absorption to ASTM E663, on the PerkinElmer 3030B.
Graphite Furnace Atomic Absorption
GFAA to ASTM E1184, on the Shimadzu AA6650.
All samples are dissolved in-house before analysis; our methods are destructive.
