Good lab for Metallurgical Analysis?

[DanGraves]

I have a unique project coming up and need some cast iron tested for carbon content. Anyone know a lab that is reasonable? Have been told that price can range from 100.00 to 50.00.

I think Fastenal will do it for about $75.

Thanks deker. I have asked for a quote from them and will continue to try to find more for quotes and variety of tests. Need to find out which is the most accurate test.

We use the various Stork labs. There is one near here in Charlotte, NC, and they are all over. I think there are 6 to 8 around the country. For chemical analysis, they need about 1 square inch of material and it runs about $50 here.
