Vennley Research & Development offers metallurgical failure analysis and material characterization to support manufacturing and processing operations. By examining how these materials fail we can learn how to prevent these failures, extend the life of the parts and reduce downtime.
Rapid turnaround is available.
Our Services
-
SEM imaging and fractography
Scanning Electron Microscopy is used to view material structures at Nano-scale and is a valuable for fractography and failure analysis.
-
EDS microscopy
Electron Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy is used to tell us the elements present in a sample. This information can be presented as color mapping, line scans and point scans.
-
Material Characterization
Often the development of new products and materials requires an understanding of many details of the microstructure, corrosion products and surface coatings.
-
Failure Analysis
Metallographic examination of failed components is an excellent tool to help discover the root cause and prevent the failure in the future.
