Your teams need surface analysis training
What is surface analysis?
When we talk about surface analysis, we are referring to the study of the outermost part of a material. This surface is particularly exposed and actively interacts with its surroundings, which makes it vulnerable. It has unique attributes that are essential for the material to achieve the expected performance levels.
Why train in surface analysis?
Understanding the properties and conditions of a material’s surface is crucial. It allows you to adjust your production methods accordingly, by integrating specific surface treatment or cleaning techniques.
The applications of surface analysis are numerous… you will therefore be able to:
Analyze the chemical composition of a material's surface
Characterize the surface coating
Validate cleaning processes
Analyze and characterize surface treatments
Characterize surface treatment baths
Study the morphology of a material's surface (porosity, roughness, …)
Study surface failures and defects (cracks, breaks, migration, corrosion, etc.)
Develop surface treatments
Identify surface contamination (particle, deposit and other analyses)

In what context should a surface analysis be carried out?
Do you want to address your surface analysis challenges? Have you just acquired different technical means to carry out a surface analysis (FEG-SEM EDX, Optical microscope, BET, µ-FTIR) within your laboratory? Are the competent person or persons no longer part of your teams? Do you want to improve your expertise in surface analysis and the interpretation of results?
