FAQ
Mainly critical industries, where mechanical and thermal performance are vital:
- Aeronautics: turbine discs, blades, combustion chambers
- Space & Defence: rocket engines, propulsion components
- Energy: stationary gas turbines
- Hot forming: tools subject to high thermal stresses
Because it is used in vital rooms, subjected to extreme environments. The slightest failure can lead to a major outage or security incident. This involves:
- Strict traceability and quality control requirements
- A thorough analysis of composition, microstructure and in-service behaviour
- Material check at acceptance or supplier control
- Expertise after rupture or abnormal corrosion
- Validation of heat treatment (precipitation hardening)
- Quality control in additive manufacturing
- Reliability studies for critical parts
Yes. Our material engineers can interpret the results, identify root causes of a defect and offer recommendations to secure your process or validate a supplier.
