Understanding Fracture Toughness
Understanding Fracture Toughness: A Critical Property for High-Performance Materials Fracture toughness is a critical material property that quantitatively describes a material's ability to resist the propagation of a crack. This [...]
How Does a Corrosion Test Work?
The underlying chemistry of corrosion may be complex to understand, but its effects are not: Corrosion-related product and infrastructure failures cause billions of dollars of damage every year and are [...]
Why Does Grain Size Analysis Matter?
Almost all metals are made up of grains. The number and size of the grains within a metal depends on what happens during its manufacturing process and greatly affect that [...]
How Experts Conduct Mechanical Failure Analysis
At Secat, our team leverages advanced mechanical and metallurgical techniques to uncover the root causes of product failures and develop targeted prevention strategies. Below, we outline our comprehensive mechanical failure [...]
What is a Corrosion Testing Lab?
Corrosion is a natural conversion process in which a metal part gradually deteriorates into a more chemically stable oxide. Rusting is the most common and recognizable form of corrosion. [...]
What is Metallographic Analysis Used For?
Metallographic analysis is a very important technique for the quality testing of metal materials that will be used for a wide variety of commercial and scientific applications. By understanding what [...]
