Assess and characterise the structures of a metallic material
Metallographic examinations of metallic materials
Your expectations
- You would like to know the structure and the microstructure of your metallic material
- You would like to characterise your material as regards the grain size, inclusion cleanliness, presence of phases, surface treatment, etc.
- You are seeking reliable analysis and characterisation methods
- You would like to ensure the traceability of your tests
Our solutions
- A specialised team and resources in the area of metallic material characterisation
- Macro and microscopic test equipment such as binocular magnifiers, optical microscopes (M x 1,000), SEM (Scanning Electron Microscope) equipped with microanalysis probes.
- Surface treatment measurement and analysis equipment: depth and properties of a surface treatment, coating thickness.
- Performance of microhardness analyses, hardness profiles (Vickers, Brinell), determination of the depth of decarburisation
Your benefits
