Failure analysis
Material testing and systematic failure analysis for rail vehicles according to VDI 3822
This includes, in particular, material tests and the investigation of damages. In addition to various test methods, we also carry out non-destructive tests in our test centre.
Fields of application
- Investigation of damages, for example due to unsuitable materials, material quality, overload or wear
- Material investigations for the raw-material qualification of metals, non-metals, plastics up to fibre composites and material combinations
- Assessment of strength and reliability of various manufacturing and production processes including 3D printing
Services
