World-class materials testing. Under one roof.
A fully integrated laboratory supporting chemistry, metallurgy, powder characterization, and materials evaluation for aerospace and advanced manufacturing.
A technical partner, not just a manufacturer.
SeAH Superalloy Technologies has invested in a world-class materials testing laboratory at our Temple, Texas facility. Equipped with new, state-of-the-art instrumentation, the lab supports full-service testing from incoming materials through final product verification, covering both cast ingot and powder production. Every capability is built around automation, speed, quality, and repeatability.
Near real-time analysis, plant-wide.
Our laboratory is engineered for responsiveness. A plant-wide Aerocom pneumatic tube system delivers samples directly from manufacturing to the laboratory, enabling near real-time chemistry analysis and faster process adjustments. Automated sample delivery and specimen preparation systems eliminate manual handling wherever possible, while autosampler turrets on key analytical equipment increase throughput.
Rapid in-process analysis supports tighter process control, quicker elemental additions, and improved manufacturing responsiveness, reducing critical cycle times across every production line.
Chemistry, powder, and metallurgical testing.
Elemental analysis from primary chemistry to tramp and trace.
Comprehensive compositional analysis at every stage of production, from primary chemistry verification to trace element detection, supporting routine quality control and demanding qualification programs.

Beyond routine testing.
Our laboratory supports customers and production teams with specialized analytical, investigative, and process development services.
Chemical Analysis Services
Overcheck analysis, referee analysis, and tramp and trace contamination analysis provide independent verification of disputed or critical results.
Materials Processing Support
Our team supports additive manufacturing process development, prototyping, and process troubleshooting, helping customers move from concept to qualified production with fewer iterations.
Investigations and Failure Analysis
When materials do not perform as expected, our laboratory conducts product contamination and deterioration investigations, metallurgical and microstructural examinations, hardness and microhardness profiling, and full failure analysis.
Plant-Wide Sample Delivery
An Aerocom EWS pneumatic tube system delivers samples directly from manufacturing to the laboratory. This reduces critical cycle times for in-process composition analysis, supports rapid elemental additions and process adjustments, and improves both laboratory throughput and manufacturing responsiveness.
Traceability. Repeatability.
Consistency.
Automation is built into every step of our laboratory workflow, from sample delivery through analysis and data capture. This eliminates manual handling variability and delivers consistent, traceable results at production scale.
Accredited today.
Expanding tomorrow.
Our laboratory holds ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation and is actively pursuing an aggressive schedule of additional aerospace quality certifications.
