Metallographic
Laboratory

So.Ge.Se. operates in Bari as a specialized metallurgical analysis laboratory with over 40 years of experience. A reference point in Puglia and Southern Italy, the facility provides structural and morphological characterization of metallic materials for companies, engineering firms and research centers.

Optical Microscopy Examinations

Optical microscopy is used for metallographic analysis of materials: observation of microstructure, evaluation of grain size, identification of phases and detection of surface and internal defects.

Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM)

SEM enables ultra-high resolution surface analysis to identify fractures, porosity, inclusions and contaminants. Includes EDS microanalysis for chemical characterization.

Quantometric Chemical Analysis

Spectrometric techniques for determining the composition of steels, cast irons, aluminum, copper and magnesium alloys with precision and repeatability.

ICP-OES Plasma Chemical Analysis

Inductively coupled plasma emission spectroscopy for the detection of trace and major elements in metals and solutions obtained by acid digestion.

LECO Methodology Analysis

Dedicated technology for the determination of light elements (C, S, O, N, H) in ferrous and non-ferrous metals.

Failure Analysis

Multidisciplinary investigations to identify the causes of failure through mechanical, metallographic, chemical and SEM techniques.
