Materials Characterization Laboratory

 

Established in 1984, CAMET Research has become a trusted partner for product development, quality control and material failure investigations. We practice X-ray analysis combining basic crystallography with solid state chemistry.

 

What we do

Applying proven methods in X-ray diffraction and fluorescence, we currently support these industries:

 

Cement:

Portland clinker composition

Alternative silicate chemistries (fly ash, pozzolans)

Concrete:

Concrete failure through deleterious mineral formation

Landfill Managemet:

Monitoring leachate scale formation

Medical Devices:

Hydroxylapatite chemistry

Medical clay chemistry

Crystal Growth:

Orientation and reorientation of large single crystal devices (LAUE-method)

Geotech:

Clay identification and clay content in soils

Mineralogy of soils

Oil & Gas:

Identification of ferrous corrosion products

Steel:

XRD retained austenite analysis

Water Treatment:

Solid waste identification from municipal treatment facilities

Full laboratory for sample preparation (including calcination up to 2200F, cutting, diamond saw cutting, rock crushing, pulverizing, grinding, polishing) and wet chemistry capabilities on site.
