Material analysis
CSI Nordic performs material analysis and quality control of all materials, e.g. metals, plastics, ceramics and composite material. With long experience in metallographic investigations we perform chemical analysis (PMI), grain size analysis and determination of the microstructure. We are able to analyze materials down to atomic level and need only a few cubic micrometers of a metal to determine its composition. Mechanical properties can be determined by hardness testing, tensile testing or impact testing.
