Failure Analysis and Testing

Using the S.E.M. (scanning electron microscope) our staff is capable of obtaining a higher magnification and greater depth of field which will aid in determining the mode of failure in a fracture. If needed the chemistry department, mechanical department and machine shop aid the metallurgist to ensure that our customers receive a professional conclusion. CMS can provide results by email, fax or mail.

 
Handling of failed components is a priority. Take all precautions to preserve the fracture surface by wrapping the area carefully.

Our SEM is a JEOL JSM-T300 meets the diverse needs from surface observation to 200,000x. The maximum allowable specimen size is 5" diameter and 2" in height.
