Metallurgical field investigations provide detailed insight into the composition, structure, and properties of materials, and are used for quality assurance, failure analysis, and lifetime assessments.
We offer a wide range of metallurgical services to verify material quality, identify deviations, and analyse damage. The investigations can be conducted in connection with production, operational inspection, and failure or damage analyses.
