OUR SERVICES

Advanced Surface Solutions & Material characterization

We provide high-precision material and surface characterization to evaluate the performance, reliability, and real-world behaviour of your components and coatings.

Our capabilities include:

  • Surface and topography measurements
  • Hardness and mechanical testing
  • Coating adhesion and durability assessments
  • Tribological testing with multiple tribometers
  • Microscopic wear evaluation and material analysis

We deliver clear, actionable insights that improve durability, reduce downtime, and increase efficiency.

Failure Analysis & Root-Cause Problem Solving

We apply rigorous, evidence-based methods to identify why materials or surfaces fail — and how to prevent it.

Our failure analyses lead to:

  • Accurate wear mechanism identification
  • Tailored corrective actions
  • Optimized surface and coating solutions
  • Reduced risks and operational losses

We turn complex problems into reliable, long-term solutions.

Surface Engineering & Coating Development

We design, evaluate, and improve advanced surface solutions, including:

  • Thermal spray coatings
  • Advanced laser cladding
  • Heat treatments
  • CVD & PVD thin films
  • Surface texturing and modification

These solutions increase durability, reduce friction, and enhance the performance of components across multiple industries.

Consulting & Technical Development

From concept to implementation, we support clients with:

  • Materials and coating selection
  • Tribology-based design optimization
  • Wear reduction strategies
  • Process development and troubleshooting
  • R&D support and technology transfer

Our consulting services bridge science and industry to deliver practical, effective solutions.
