Leibniz-IWT provides support in the systematic analysis of damage to metal components and materials. The aim is to identify the causes of damage, taking into account the material, manufacturing process, stress, and operating conditions.
Our damage analyses provide sound insights into how to prevent future failures and optimize materials and processes.
Fracture surface analysis (REM), comprehensive metallographic analysis, hardness testing
