Metallographic Investigations
Have your materials analyzed and evaluated for the designated application, for their processing characteristics and their conditions by TÜV SÜD
During the planning, construction and operation of technical facilities and components a lot of factors have to be taken into consideration. In addition to design and construction, the characteristics and processing of the used material play an important role. Materials are subject to mechanical-technological, thermal, wear and corrosive influences, all of which may lead to the component’s failure.
Don‘t take any risk here!
TÜV SÜD offers:
Sample preparation of
- steel
- cast iron
- special alloys
- non-ferrous metals
- ceramics
- plastics
Sample preparation by
- cutting (wet, dry)
- embedding (warm, cold, vacuum)
- polishing (electrolytic, mechanic)
- etching
Structure investigation
- macroscopic investigation of micro sections
- microscopic investigation of micro sections: determination of crevices, corrosion, welding defects / investigation of surface coatings / identification of hardening areas / determination of grain size and degree of purity
