New Facility Almost Finished


Our new facility on Rayford Rd, 1 mile east of I-45, in Spring, TX.  The new facility will more than double our square footage and allow us to not only improve the efficiency and flow of all work done, but also allows us the ability to increase the amount of testing we can provide to our clients.  The facility will have a separate area for inspection purposes that will have direct access to the shop and has a large window viewing into the SEM laboratory, with images from the SEM on a large screen tv.  We will also have the ability and space to expand our chemical and mechanical testing, allowing us to serve our clients and help them obtain correct and timely reports.  Come see us soon at our new building and let us help you with your testing needs.

Cast Iron

Ductile Iron

Gray Iron

Cast Iron is a Ferrous Alloy that consists of mainly Iron with the addition of Carbon (approx. 2%-3.5%) and Silicon (approx. 1%-3%).  Other elements can be added as well to change the microstructure and physical properties of the metal.  The Carbon in Cast Iron cools as Graphite that separates from the solution of molten metal during the cooling process.  Cast Iron can be produced with Nodular (Ductile Iron) or Flake (Gray Iron) Graphite .  Both have their advantages and disadvantages, depending on the application or  mechanical property needs.  Please contact EPI-MTG for more information or assistance you need with the metallurgical examination of your Cast Iron material.
