Forensic Chemistry of Metals and Alloys – Training Services

Forensic Chemistry of Metals and Alloys – Training Services provides specialized training on the analysis of metallic evidence in forensic investigations. The course covers the chemical and physical properties of metals and alloys, methods for determining their composition, and techniques for differentiating between various samples. Participants will learn analytical methods such as atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS), X-ray fluorescence (XRF), inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) for precise characterization. Emphasis is placed on evidence recovery, contamination control, and comparative analysis to link metallic fragments, tools, or weapons to crime scenes. Case studies demonstrate applications in tool mark analysis, hit-and-run accidents, and industrial crime investigations.
