Descripción

TEKNIKER’s metallographic laboratory specialises in the advanced characterisation and testing of metallic materials, with the aim of ensuring the reliability, regulatory compliance and performance of industrial components in service.

The laboratory holds ENAC accreditation for mechanical testing (tensile, Charpy impact and hardness tests) and combines optical and electron microscopy capabilities with comprehensive metallographic sample preparation facilities.

It also provides failure analysis and root cause diagnosis for metallic components, as well as support for material selection and qualification.
