Positive Material Identification Service

Positive Material Identification (PMI)When working with metal, the importance of Positive Material Identification (PMI) and elemental analysis for quality assurance and control cannot be overlooked. The ability to rapidly identify unknown materials, differentiate mixed items and verify the alloy components of purchased metals contributes to the efficiency and profitability of your business, as well as the integrity of your product. Knowing who to turn to for PMI services is half the battle.

The good news is you can now rely on NSK Industries, Inc., a company with a long history of metal expertise, to provide positive material identification services.
