Materials Testing

Methods

• Light microscopy
• Scanning electron microscopy
• Hardness measurement
• Chemical analyses of materials
• X-ray inspections (2D, μCt)
• Fluorescent dye penetrant testing
• Residual stress measurements by x-ray
• Exposure and corrosion tests
   

Applications

• Examination of macrostructures and microstructures
• Determination of material strength at macrostructure and microstructure levels
• Evaluation of casting, additive manutacturing and forming processes
• Evaluation of manufacturing processes
• Surface roughness measurements
• Fractography
• Non-destructive material testing
• Testing of chemical resistance and environmental testing
   

Method Development

• Cross-sector and cross-material materials testing
• Creation of specifications
• Consulting on QA measures
• Development of incoming inspections
• Consulting on material selection and optimisation
