Laboratory analysis and expertise of material wear
Your needs : to analyze and characterize wear on a material
What is wear ?
Being in constant interaction with its environment, a material’s surface is a vulnerable and unstable area. These attacks (erosion, abrasion, friction…) can lead to the material degrading which will have a negative impact on its performance, reliability and solidity.
Metals are usually the materials most affected by wear.
Why analyze wear problems ?
Understanding and anticipating these phenomena is a major concern in industry. Defect analysis and characterization following wear problems will make it possible to identify the cause of the problems whether it be internal or external so that your activities can be more sustainable and more reliable.
