Lab Tests

Failure analysis

Metallography (Cross-Section)

It seeks to relate the internal structure of the material with its physical properties, with the manufacturing process, the performance of its functions and others. 

Visual inspection (stereoscope)

Most used method for the evaluation of the condition and quality of a weld or components. Inspections with up to 50x magnification.

Brand equipment: LEICA. 

Optical Microscopy

Capable of producing images with up to 1,000x magnification and high resolution, they are useful for evaluating the microstructure of a given sample, different materials, layer thickness measurements, presence of voids, shorts, etc. 

Dye & Pry

Penetrating liquid testing is a method used to detect breakage defects on surfaces, such as cracks and cracks, which are not detectable by the naked eye. 

MEV/EDS

Able to produce images with magnification up to 1 million times and high resolution, with a three-dimensional appearance. Useful to evaluate the morphology and elemental chemical composition of phases of a given sample, in addition to measurements of coatings layers (metallic baths) in component terminals, etc. 

Some tested products

  • Printed Circuit Boards, Notebook, Desktop, Mobile, Tracker, TV, etc
