Wear, failure and corrosion of polymer and composite parts
Polymer, elastomer, composite materials
Understand and anticipate plastic, composite and elastomer material breaks
Having experienced a failure for a composite, plastic or elastomer part or a paint coating, you want to:
• identify causes, understand origins and find solutions to guarantee your product quality
• identify the responsibilities for each contributor in order to improve your organization
According to your needs, realize a full study of every parameter related to failure with:
• on-site expertise
• material analysis: break analyses, geometric and material-condition analysis, material mechanical and physico-chemical characterization
• in-lab simulation: accelerated ageing simulation, structure dimensioning, computation/tests matching, defects nocivity simulation
• manufacturing and control process analysis
• support for process redesign and improvement
• Cetim's general approach which combines multiple skills and handles failure from origin to solution in order to help you reduce costs
• as the French leader in failure analysis and mechanical expertise with a wide experience of more than 30 000 cases, Cetim guarantees you neutral and reliable results
• access to most advanced technologies, means and experts to help you innovate
