Failure analysis
Our failure analysis experts evaluate parts to determine the causes of damage and failures. With our in-depth understanding of metallurgical processes and state-of-the-art analysis technologies, we help you develop effective solutions to prevent material damage and extend the life of your products.
Corrosion testing & electrochemistry
1
General electrochemistry
We offer a wide range of electrochemical testing methods for material characterization to evaluate the corrosion resistance, passivity and conductivity of materials.
Our experts use state-of-the-art analytical equipment to provide accurate and reliable data, which are crucial for proper material selection and
material optimization.
2
EPR method
The EPR process based on ASTM G108 is the heart of our services in the field of corrosion testing.
This innovative electrochemical testing method is specifically designed to determine the sensitivity of corrosion-resistant steels and nickel-based alloys to intergranular corrosion (IC) significantly faster and with greater accuracy than traditional immersion tests.
3
Immersion testing
Our immersion testing services include a variety of test methods, including, but not limited to, Streicher test, Huey test, Strauss test and oxalic acid test.
We carry out these tests in accordance with internationally recognized standards such as ASTM A28, ASTM A262,
ASTM G48 and ISO 3651 to evaluate the durability and quality of your materials in various environments and conditions.
