We provide the following services for metallographic testing:
Inspection of structures in a wide variety of different materials, such as:
- Testing and evaluation of cast structures as per DIN EN 1561 and 1563, determination of apparent grain size as per DIN EN ISO 643
- Determination of purity level in steels as per DIN EN 10247
- Inspection of heat treatment
- Testing of non-ferrous metals such as copper alloys, aluminium materials, titanium alloys, niobium material and diamond saw blades
Testing of coatings
- Determination of layer thickness using a ball crater and metallographic processes with subsequent measurement of layers under an optical microscope and a scanning electron microscope
- Instrumented penetrant test to determine hardness and other parameters in materials
- Shear strength as per DIN 50162, tensile adhesive strength on thermal spraying layers as per DIN EN 582
- Quality control of coatings on DLC and PVD layers, chrome and nickel plating, flame spray layers and laser powder welding
