- Failure analysis reports
- Conclusions and recommendation to prevent future failure
SEM & EDS
Our scanning electron microscope and x-ray microanalysis system is used to obtain information on the microscopic features of fracture surfaces and samples for a wide range of investigations
- Metallurgical fractures / failure investigations
