Following a failure or to optimize materials, would you like to analyze your products using SEM?

FILAB laboratory is certified by AFNOR CERTIFICATION for the ISO 9001 standard and the ISO 19443 standard for the chemical analysis and characterization of materials and products for the nuclear sector.

As stakeholders involved in the design, construction, maintenance, and operation of nuclear power plants or other energy production systems, you are looking to optimize your products, materials, or processes in line with quality, sustainability, and safety practices.

What is SEM?

First of all, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) is an electron microscopy technique. This method enables a material to be analyzed using a fine beam of electrons that scans its surface without causing damage.

Why analyze your products intended for the energy and nuclear sectors using SEM?

The energy and nuclear sectors are industries where quality, sustainability, and safety are critical.

Therefore, SEM analysis helps verify and adapt your manufacturing processes. Thanks to the high-quality images obtained during the analysis, SEM enables detailed observation of the various materials.

It also makes it possible to investigate failures in order to identify the nature and origin of defects. These may include:
