Surface analysis and characterization
Your needs : to characterize a defect on the surface of one of your materials and to optimize your production process (surface treatment)
The surface of any material is vulnerable and can be subject to numerous interactions with the environment. The specific characteristics of the surface dictate the overall behavior of the material and if a defect is present on the surface, it can cause the product to fail.
Knowing the properties and the state of a material’s surface can allow for the production process or for the implementation of a surface treatment or cleaning procedure to be better adapted to the material in question. Support from a specialized laboratory will provide you with the necessary analytical tools to successfully carry out your activities.
Our solution : to provide you with our surface analysis techniques and our knowledge of different materials to assist you in your industrial projects
For more than 20 years FILAB has had the necessary experience and scientific equipment to be able to assist different companies with surface characterization services and analyses on all kinds of materials (metals, polymers, ceramics) by providing tailored support. FILAB also analyses your industrial challenges and helps with interpreting any results.
