| Overview of Methods and Equipment |
|
| Our comprehensive analytical tools enable us to evaluate almost the entire range of materials, from the macroscopic to the nanometre scale. Both solid and liquid substances can be identified, analysed and quantified. Metals, ceramics, polymeric materials and their corrosion, oxidation and reaction products can be characterised. An assessment of surfaces and coatings is possible down to the nanometre scale. Our instrumentation includes equipment for analysing distribution of phases, measuring mechanical properties such as hardness, and for determining both static and dynamic mechanical response. If required, tribological or corrosion tests can be conducted. |
