Materialography

In our Test Centre we offer you the possibility of materialographic analysis of your components and materials. This microsections allow possible defects to be identified, microscopic structures to be measured and a damage analysis of components and test specimens to be carried out.

Our Services

  • Test facilities for materialographic analysis of composites, metals, hybrid materials and adhesive bonds
  • Specimen preparation (embedding, grinding and polishing)
  • Various etching methods for microstructural analysis of metals
  • Scanning electron microscopy
  • Optical microscopy (up to 500x magnification)
    • Detection and measurement of cracks, pores and other objects
    • detailed overview images of required component areas
    • Analysis of the metal microstructure
