Análise microestrutural

Our experienced team analyses in modern equipped labs metal alloys (e.g., steel, Al-, Ti-, Mg- or Cu-alloys, etc.), hard metals, ceramics, composites, powders, coatings, etc. The available expertise allows us to assist the aviation industry using methods provided by:

• Materialografia:
  Unique preparation procedures (such as mechanical, electrochemical, chemical) allow us to provide in-depth analysis of materials and also enable high-quality failure and fracture analysis.

• Medições da (micro)dureza:
  Modern state-of-the-art equipment enables the (fully automated) investigation of hardness based on Vickers and Knoop with loads in the range of 0,25 g – 62,5 kg. Lateral resolutions in micro-meter range are feasible (e.g., line-scans, matrix-scans) to assess the lateral distribution of mechanical properties.

• Microscopia eletrónica:
  Two high-resolution electron microscopes (SEMs) including advanced techniques such as Focused Ion Beam (FIB) and Electron Back-Scattered Diffraction (EBSD) are available to perform high-quality investigations. Energy Dispersive X-Ray Spectroscopy (EDS) allows to assess the chemical composition of materials in spots, lines or areas.

• Análise de superfícies com base em modelos 3D:
  The reconstruction of 3D-models and evaluation of the roughness parameters of surfaces recorded in high-resolution SEM is provided by using advanced evaluation software packages.
