Offer

Cetim delivers comprehensive root-cause failure analysis and metallurgical investigation across metallic, composite, and polymeric components:

  • Fractographic Analysis: Examination of fracture faces using macroscopic observation and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) to identify failure mechanisms including mechanical fatigue, corrosion fatigue, thermal stress, creep, static overload, and stress corrosion cracking.
  • Metallurgical & Material Characterization: Microstructural examinations, micrographic cross-sections, chemical composition analysis, inclusion cleanliness, and heat treatment evaluation.
  • Mechanical Testing & Defect Evaluation: Static and dynamic tensile, compression, hardness mapping, impact toughness, and fracture mechanics evaluations.
  • Non-Destructive Testing (NDT): X-ray tomography, ultrasonic testing, infrared thermography, and acoustic emission for subsurface flaw detection.
  • Failure Simulation & Remodeling: FEA calculation, fatigue behavior modeling, and stress analysis to reproduce operating conditions and assist in component redesign.
  • Component-Specific Investigations: Failure diagnosis of gears, rolling bearings, welded joints, boilers, heat exchangers, mechanical seals, and hydraulic systems.
