Characterisation & Analysis

LIA offers aerospace-grade material characterisation to reliably determine material behaviour under representative mechanical and environmental conditions. To further support companies in improving the safety, quality and performance of their components using state-of-the-art microscopy techniques, we carry out material analyses.

Our areas of expertise:

  • Characterisation of mechanical properties under relevant loads and operating conditions
  • Fatigue and long-term strength tests under cyclic and long-term loading
  • Environmental testing (temperature, humidity, corrosion, liquids)
  • Characterisation of metals, composite materials and polymers
  • Structural analysis of metals and advanced alloys
  • Optical and digital microscopy for high-resolution surface evaluation
  • Detailed analysis of welds, material structures and failure mechanisms
  • Investigation of coatings, heat treatment and fatigue behaviour

Benefits:

  • Reliable material data for design
  • Reduced uncertainty when assessing service life and durability
  • Endurance tests to assess long-term performance
