Specimen preparation  for macroscopic and microscopic examinations.

Macroscopic examinations :

•	welding, brazing, grain flow, dimensional checks, coating aspects, breaking visual aspect,
•	examination following salt spray as per suitable standards.

Microscopic examinations :

•	structures, grain indices, flaw and ingredient rates , counts... on steel (stainless and special), aluminium and titanium alloys, etc,
•	intergranular corrosion on light alloys,
•	measurement of surface coating thickness ( microhardness (filiation ...) and measurement of deposition, approval of paints, screws and bolts,
•	composite inspection (delamination, porosities),
•	• observation of electronic devices, printed circuits and crimping  inspection.

Electron Beam Microscopy :

•	Breaking analysis on electronic housings .
•	examens microfractographiques de faciès de rupture.

Chemical analyses:

•	in partnership with an approved lab.
