Combining advanced laboratory analysis with technical expertise, we investigate material properties, behavior, and degradation to optimize material performance and mitigate risks. Our laboratories are equipped with destructive and nondestructive testing equipment to evaluate material properties for applications in transportation, power generation, and various industries.
Our multidisciplinary team includes metallurgists, experts on ceramics, glass, and composites, and polymer and elastomer chemists. We apply optical microscopy, borescope examination, and 3D laser scanning to provide clients with a clear view of critical components and assess fatigue, corrosion, and wear as well as scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and computed tomography (CT) which reveal hidden details.
We offer expertise in materials characterization and failure analysis for investigations and use Finite Element Analysis (FEA), design optimization, and product lifecycle assessment to provide clients with the information they need to understand challenging situations.
