Materials Analysis and Testing
Material analysis and testing includes a wide range of methods for investigating the chemical and physical properties of materials. The resulting findings provide a solid foundation for determining material composition and assessing quality. Based on this, the suitability of the material for specific applications can be evaluated. Depending on the specific problem, both non-destructive and destructive testing methods are used. In addition, boundary conditions (such as temperature) can be adjusted to simulate real-world operating conditions.
Solutions for your industry
Every industry has its own specific factors to consider when evaluating and selecting materials. Given the variety of requirements and the wide range of processes available, choosing the best process (or combination of processes) can quickly become overwhelming.
