Physical Metallurgy and Metallography Lab

Lab Overview

The Physical Metallurgy group focuses on the development of metallic and intermetallic materials for extreme application conditions. The identification of suitable alloy compositions and tailoring of the microstructures is particular aim of our work.

Lab Overview

Materials Testing

Materials Testing is a range of highly precise and reliable techniques that determine and measure the characteristics of materials, such as mechanical properties, creep, corrosion resistance and the effects of heat treatments.

Our material testing services are destructive testing methods that are categorized as mechanical, fracture toughness, fatigue, creep testing. Most material testing is performed on metals, although some services are available for composites, ceramics and polymers.

Corrosion Engineering Laboratory

Lab Overview

Corrosion engineering is the application of science and art to prevent or control corrosion damage in a safe and economical manner. To perform this function properly, the corrosion engineer must rely on experimental research. This is because the major aspects of corrosion engineering are largely empirical in nature. A body of theory exists that can be very helpful in solving corrosion problems, but in the final analysis, most decisions are based on the results of empirical tests.

Materials Characterization Lab (XRD)

Lab Overview

X-ray Powder Diffraction (XRD)

 

X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) is a rapid analytical technique primarily used for phase identification of a crystalline material and can provide information on unit cell dimensions. The analyzed material is finely ground, homogenized, and average bulk composition is determined.
