ADG - Alloy Development Group

Our range of products and services for characterizing materials represents an important element of quality assurance for you, our costumer from the field of measurement and analysis technology, and for material manufacturers and the material-processing industry.

Our team of experts determines material characteristics for you, conducts checks in accordance with the relevant standards and uses the latest testing methods and an extensive range of specialized equipment to produce failure analysis reports.

Microstructure and Interface Analysis
Light- microscopy and electron- microscopy techniques are used to determine different materials, their phases and their grain structures.

Thermophysical Properties
These characteristics can be determined in the range between the tempertaure of liquid nitrogen (-196°C) and 1900°C.

Mechanical Properties
Test on calibrated universal testing machines according to the corresponding standards (DIN,ASTM,EN,ISO, etc.)

Wear
Measurement of friction on standard test rigs under variable environmental conditions (atmosphere,vacuum, temperature)

Corrosion
In accordance with the common standards such as DIN, ASTM and others, the behaviour of materials under application-specific corrosion conditions is investigated.

3D Ultrasonic Testing
To detect defects in various materials and technical componets, three dimensional ultrasonic testing is used, thus achieving product and process optimization.

Modelling and Simulation
An analytical tool for research and development that saves time and money during product development and process design and indicates R&D directions that are likely to yield results. For component optimization and materials development, we offer, for example

• finite element analyses
• Analytical methods for materials modelling
• Combined analyses
• Customer- specific interfaces
• Nonstandard solutions
