Your needs: X-ray tomography analysis

What is a tomographic analysis?

Firstly, tomographic analysis is a technique for analysing and testing materials using radiation/matter interaction. It is used to construct 3D images of the object under study.

This allows non-destructive testing to be carried out, making it a very popular technique in certain industrial sectors such as art and luxury goods, or for manufacturers of very large objects.

X-ray tomography can be used to analyse the composition of a material, from its surface to its core, and to monitor its development in response to external stresses.

FAQ

What is X-ray tomography?

X-ray tomography, or industrial X-ray tomography, is an advanced, non-destructive 3D imaging technology that allows the interior of parts and assemblies to be examined without dismantling or altering them. Inspired by medical scanning techniques, it is widely used in industry for quality control, failure analysis and detection of internal defects.

What is CT Scan analysis?

CT Scan analysis is an imaging method that uses X-rays to create detailed images of the internal structures of an object.

How do you detect a leak path using X-ray tomography?

Industrial tomography enables the interior of parts to be examined in detail without dismantling them.

By producing a high-resolution 3D reconstruction, it is possible to identify cracks, porosities or assembly defects that could be the source of a leak path.

Which laboratory should I choose for X-ray tomography analysis?

The FILAB laboratory is the service provider for tomographic analysis. FILAB does not limit itself to X-ray tomography: we combine this technology with other advanced techniques to meet the most complex industrial requirements.

A range of complementary analyses: our laboratory has a wide range of techniques (SEM-EDS, XRD, DSC, ATG, etc.) to explore multi-scale problems.
A team of highly qualified experts: our engineers and PhDs specialising in materials science, chemistry and physics can help you interpret the results and optimise your processes.
A tailor-made approach: we adapt our services to your specific needs, whether for a failure study, quality control or advanced materials characterisation.

What are the advantages of X-ray tomography?
  • Non-destructive inspection

  • High-resolution 3D visualisation

  • Saves time and optimises quality control

  • Can be adapted to various sectors: aerospace, automotive, electronics, foundry, additive manufacturing, etc.

    Can be combined with other analyses: improved interpretation thanks to a multi-technique approach.
