Technical Center

Materials expertise for demanding tasks.

Technical components and industrial plants require precise data, reliable assessments and a sound understanding of materials. Our content is aimed at engineers, operators, manufacturers, expert assessors and insurers who must make safe decisions based on traceable testing and analysis results.

We combine materials testing, failure analysis, welding and brazing-soldering technology, metrology, corrosion assessment and engineering into a seamless field of expertise – from material characterization to service-life and safety assessment. This creates a clear overview of methods, standards and applications that reliably support modern industrial processes.

Materials Engineering – Topics at a Glance

The topic areas show central fields of materials engineering, testing technology and failure analysis. They bundle relevant knowledge, classify methods and provide orientation in a complex technical environment.
