Yes. We support material analysis and qualification in contexts with demanding documentation and customer requirements.
Materials expertise for aerospace
The aerospace and defence sectors have demanding qualification requirements. Materials expertise supports technical decisions and supplier changes.
Failure and fracture analysis
Fracture analysis identifies the mechanism responsible for a failure: fatigue, corrosion, a metallurgical defect or an unanticipated in-service stress.
Material qualification and supplier benchmarking
Objectively comparing several supply sources reduces industrial risks and supports qualification documentation for customers.
Contamination and surface cleanliness
Contamination can affect adhesion, assembly and component durability. Characterising it helps trace the source of the problem.
