Metallic and Ceramic Materials Laboratory

Advanced materials characterisation and industrial process optimisation services. 

Eurecat’s Metallic and Ceramic Materials Laboratory has expertise and extensive experience in advanced materials characterisation for optimising industrial processes and component design.

We evaluate the properties and behaviour of all types of materials in their various formats and manufacturing processes.

We have the infrastructure and equipment needed to carry out studies on formability and mechanical, chemical, microstructural, tribological, thermal, corrosion and degradation properties of materials.
