SOLUTIONS FOR THE AEROSPACE INDUSTRY

Holistic quality assurance for the aerospace industry

The aerospace industry is a highly sensitive sector and is confronted with strict requirements on manufacturing. Here we support you, for example, with non-destructive inspection that we can use at an early stage of the added value chain. Other test methods are destructive metallographic analysis to analyse the characteristics of materials and components. In this way you can meet even the highest requirements on quality and certainty.

METALLOGRAPHIC ANALYSIS OF GFRP/CFRP COMPONENTS

Destructive analysis of the material and component characteristics of structural components made of fibre composites such as GFRP and CFRP

  • Metallographic specimen preparation
  • Analysis of the coating structure
  • Depiction and dimensioning of the coating structure, e.g. layer thickness, length of the layer
  • Depiction and analysis of defects, e.g. delaminations
  • Analysis of geometric features, e.g. radii
  • Depiction of fibre orientation
Materialography
Metallographic examination of components made of fibre-reinforced composites such as GFRP and CFRP

NON-DESTRUCTIVE INSPECTION OF THE FIBRE ORIENTATION IN GFRP/CFRP COMPONENTS

Non-destructive, high-resolution depiction and analysis of fibre composites such as GFRP and CFRP, in 2D and 3D

  • Qualitative and quantitative evaluation of the local and global fibre orientation as well as the fibre volume ratios
  • Depiction of fibre orientation: colour-coded or as vector/tensor
  • Depiction of detailed angular distribution of any orientations as 2D histogram
Industrial computed tomography
Non-destructive testing of the fibre orientation of composite materials in 2D and 3D

ANALYSIS OF CHEMICAL-FILMIC RESIDUES ON FUNCTION-RELATED COMPONENTS AND SURFACES

Ensuring technical cleanliness verification by depiction and analysis of chemical-filmic contamination on function-related surfaces, e.g. mirror surfaces

  • Analysis and depiction of contamination, e.g. carbon
  • Verification and material identification of organic and inorganic substances using RAMAN spectroscopy and FTIR spectroscopy directly on the component surface
  • RAMAN mapping for the depiction of the distribution of the contamination
  • Identification and quantification of the soluble organic residues using gas chromatography (GC-MS)
Filmic contamination
Testing for chemical-film residues on functionally relevant components

en/glossary/nominal-actual-comparison/NON-DESTRUCTIVE INSPECTION USING INDUSTRIAL COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY

Non-destructive CT analysis of complex component geometries:

  • Non-destructive testing and depiction of all internal and external geometries and structures, e.g. gap sizes, ball bearings or electronic contacts
  • Assembly checking and depiction of installation states or positions of components after endurance test
  • Analysis of porosities, wall thickness or signs of wear
  • Surface comparisons, e.g. nominal-actual comparison against CAD model or actual-actual comparison of a new part and worn part
Industrial computed tomography
Investigation of complex component geometries using computer tomography

ANALYSIS OF PARTICULATE CONTAMINATION

Verification and identification of particulate contamination on component surfaces as well as in process materials

  • Liquid analysis of fluids, process materials and hydraulic oils
  • Particulate contamination of relevant components, e.g. valve blocks or structural components
  • Correlative particle analysis of organic and inorganic particles using reflected light microscopy, scanning electron microscopy as well as RAMAN spectroscopy & FTIR spectroscopy
