Metallurgy refers to the process and technology of extracting metals or metal compounds from minerals and using various processing methods to make metals into metal materials with certain properties. Metallurgical analysis reveals the condition and composition of the material through macro, micro and SEM inspection. These analyses reveal the microstructure of the material, the processes performed during the manufacturing process, and whether the material meets the required specifications to ensure durability for the intended use.

The testing standards include but are not limited to:

ASTM E18	Standard Test Methods for Rockwell Hardness of Metallic Materials
ASTM E384	Standard Test Method for Microindentation Hardness of Materials
ASTM E10	Standard Test Method for Brinell Hardness of Metallic Materials
ASTM D2240	Standard Test Method for Rubber Property—Durometer Hardness
ASTM E112	Standard Test Methods for Determining Average Grain Size
ASTM E1382	Standard Test Methods for Determining Average Grain Size Using Semiautomatic and Automatic Image Analysis
ISO 643	Steels — Micrographic Determination of the Apparent Grain Size
ISO 945	Microstructure of Cast Irons
ASTM B 487	Standard Test Method for Measurement of Metal and Oxide Coating Thickness by Microscopical Examination of Cross Section
ISO 1463	Metallic and Oxide Coatings — Measurement of Coating Thickness — Microscopical Method
ASTM E2109	Standard Test Methods for Determining Area Percentage Porosity in Thermal Sprayed Coatings
