Reverse Engineering

We can assist in the reverse engineering and benchmarking of components. By utilising our knowledge of materials and processing methods we are able to provide a scope of testing to identify and assess features or properties of interest. This can include: the identification of coatings used (to include thickness and analysis), chemical analysis of base material, metallography to identify the heat treatment condition and hardness testing potentially utilising our hardness mapping capabilities. More specialist reverse engineering may include use of the scanning electron microscope or some specialist sub-contract services using our partners.
