Aerospace
Luvak provides accredited elemental and interstitial analysis for superalloys, titanium, and specialty metals used across aerospace programs. As an ISO/IEC 17025 and Nadcap-accredited laboratory with more than 50 years in materials testing, we deliver accurate, traceable results that support AMS and customer specifications and hold up to audit.
What We Test for Aerospace
Aerospace materials must meet exacting requirements for composition, cleanliness, and traceability. We verify the alloys and elements that matter most to airworthiness and qualification.
Nickel & Cobalt Superalloys
High-temperature alloy composition and trace element verification.
Interstitial Elements
Oxygen, nitrogen, and hydrogen content that drives strength and ductility.
Our Analysis Methods
ICP Elemental Analysis
Inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES) to ASTM E2371, E1479, E2594, and E3061
ICP-OES is A versatile, efficient method run on the SPECTRO ARCOS FHX22, providing one of the most accurate testing methods available today.
DCP Elemental Analysis
Direct current plasma emission spectroscopy (DCPES) to ASTM E1097 and E2371.
DCPES is A classic optical method run on the Beckman Spectra Span VI, backed by more than 30 years of experience.
Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy
Flame atomic absorption (AA) spectroscopy to ASTM E663.
Considered less prone to spectral interference, AA provides accurate detection of trace metals using the Perkin Elmer 3030B.
Graphite Furnace Atomic Absorption
Graphite furnace atomic absorption (GFAA) to ASTM E1184.
GFAA employs an electric furnace and multiple heating steps remove interferences and isolate the target element, giving sub-ppm determination of trace metals on the Shimadzu AA6650.
All samples are dissolved in-house before analysis; our methods are destructive.
