To solve your material-related problems, we can draw on a high-quality, DIN EN ISO/IEC 17025-accredited materials laboratory. Here, we offer you comprehensive material testing of your samples and components, including: From sampling and metallographic preparation to microscopic testing and the preparation of informative test and findings reports. In addition to our employees’ many years of experience, we have various stereo and light microscopes as well as a scanning electron microscope with EDX detector available for analysing your samples. We are also accredited to perform hardness testing using various methods (Brinell, Vickers, Rockwell), permeability measurement and chemical analysis using mobile X-ray fluorescence analysers.

We can also determine the chemical composition of metallic materials directly at your premises using X-ray fluorescence analysis, carry out mobile hardness measurements according to the UCI method, or use the microstructure impression/replica technique to produce non-destructive metallographic impressions of your components (component metallography) for subsequent analysis in our laboratory. In addition, other testing methods outside our accredited scope, such as ultrasonic wall thickness measurement, crack depth measurement, or magnetic particle and dye penetration testing, complement our service portfolio.

Our test reports usually also include recommendations for the future operation of the plant in question. In this way, we support you in the planning and performance review of maintenance measures in order to prevent damage to your plant and, last but not least, to ensure safe operation.

Thanks to our many years of expertise and the combination of various testing methods, we are able to cover a wide range of tasks: This includes, among other things, monitoring the service life of components from technical plants such as power stations, assessing creep damage, carrying out damage analyses and clarifying questions relating to quality assurance and material selection. We would be happy to assist you with your individual problems – just get in touch!
