The Aerospace Industry has a wide variety of testing needs on many
type of materials including typical verification of metal chemistry or
alloy grade of metal components (PMI), fuels and propellants,
hydraulic fluids, coatings and surface preparation, carbon fiber
composites, plastics, textiles and many other materials.

Modern structures require careful surface preparation analysis prior
to finishing and composites require inspection for thermal damage.
