Material Identification is a systematic approach to identify particular grade of material for reverse engineering, alteration or repair of the existing assets or products, non-traceable material and use of substitute material.

The initial stage in Material identification involves identifying the source of material ( stray, batch mix-up) product application( tensile, compression, fatigue), form of material ( casting, forgings, rolled, extruded, welded), shape of material ( plate, sheet, pipe, solid, preformed) followed by chemical analysis, surface and core hardness, tensile test, case depth evaluation, microstructure condition. 

Soil, water and groundwater sampling is performed to determine the presence of suspect contamination. Samples are acquired and analyzed by certified laboratory testing methods. Soil and groundwater sampling is typically preformed to evaluate if suspect contaminants are present. Laboratory results can be reviewed and compared to applicable State standards to determine if hazards levels are present.
