Metallic materials analysis laboratory

Quality control and detailed microstructure characterization of metals and alloys. Using advanced Nikon optical microscopy and image analysis software, we detect heat treatments, grain size, inclusions, and imperfections, providing comprehensive reports with photometric measurements and precision measurements.

Quantitative and qualitative determination of the chemical composition of metallic materials and alloys. This service allows us to verify the materials' compliance with technical purchasing requirements, ensuring the safety of the finished product and proper supplier qualifications.

Ultra-high-resolution surface morphological investigations with magnifications up to 400,000x. We use Zeiss SEM microscopes and Oxford EDS/EDX microprobes to identify contaminants, inclusions, ductile or brittle fractures, hydrogen embrittlement, and corrosion phenomena.

Multidisciplinary investigation and problem-solving activities to determine the primary causes of component failure, aesthetic, or functional degradation. We analyze fractures, trigger points, welds, joints, and corrosion defects, providing technical expert reports with resolution.

Metrological and metallographic assessment of the thickness of protective and aesthetic coatings. We perform precise tests on surface treatments such as hardening, galvanizing, galvanizing, and painting to verify adhesion and corrosion resistance.

Non-destructive 3D X-ray testing to inspect the interior of any material. Thanks to the Baker Hughes GE V|TOME|X M 300 system, we combine the diagnosis of internal defects (porosity, discontinuities) with the highest precision of metrological measurements.
