Failure Analyses

A 30-year long working experience in many sectors and the knowledge of metallurgical processes enable us to understand the causes leading to failures and corrosions of components

Understanding the causes leading to breakages, failures and corrosion processes is NEVER EASY, but our 30-year-long EXPERIENCE in many sectors allows us to CLEARLY UNDERSTAND which TESTS NEED TO BE CARRIED OUT in order to provide PROMPT ANSWERS, to LIMIT the number of tests and consequently to SAVE MONEY.
We provide assistance also in case of conflicts and legal disputes.
