Technical diagnostics and certified testing

Your partner for component design and materials selection through to quality testing and failure analysis
Within our cluster you will find experienced and competent specialists who welcome questions and challenging problems pertaining to failure analysis, characterisation of materials, non-destructive and destructive materials testing (and training thereof), structural mechanics, machine dynamics and acoustics, as well as calibration of metrological instruments and the application of metrological techniques.

We offer comprehensive support with regard to selecting the right materials for machinery components (metals, polymers, ceramics and coatings) and interpreting experimental measurements (e.g. tensile behaviour, material processing state). Our also provide support in the areas of fatigue analyses, quality assurance, failure investigations and questions on materials of all types. We perform material property investigations and numerical and experimental stress analyses under operating conditions, where our comprehensive range of modern measuring instrumentation enables state-of-the-art vibration and data analyses. In failure investigations we have access to broad knowledge on corrosion, wear and mechanical engineering expertise within the business units throughout Sulzer and we can recommend optimum remedies within a short time period. Our business and test procedures in our accredited laboratories and inspection stations meet the requirements set down in various international standards such as EN, ISO, ASTM, ASME, NADCAP and others.

Through innovative thinking and action we are, for both internal and external customers, a reliable partner for the development of analysis -, test and measuring procedures, which are not normally found in the standard references. Our independence, authority and flexibility help our customers to secure success by increasing their value and competitiveness.


The Materials and Failure Analysis group has over 40 years experience in providing failure analyses, materials characterisation (metals, polymers, ceramics, composites and coatings), water analyses and microbiological assays. We provide support and consulting for our customers in materials-related issues, including selection and design of coatings and overlays, corrosion prevention, design of components, processing quality control, metallography techniques and chemical analysis.

We offer the whole range of services in machine dynamics and acoustics. Thanks to our close cooperation with other groups of Sulzer Innotec we are able to deal with any interdisciplinary project in mechanical engineering. We are in especially close collaboration with the structural dynamics group and are therefore also able to offer the whole range of expertise in mechanics.

Safety of relevant components and structures is crucial, and failures are unaffordable. Highest levels of reliability are required in many fields. Therefore, a detailed assessment of the life cycle of a product is indispensable. We also offer standard experiments, like rotating bending tests etc. The Structural Mechanics group has extensive experience in strain gauge measurement techniques for measuring the loading of machines and plants in situ.
