Services
Failure analysis
Even if most components are carefully designed and their quality standard is monitored during production, it is not always possible to prevent component failure during operation. This results in economic losses due to production downtime, consequential damage or even a risk to people's health.
Such damage can only be repaired or prevented in the future if the cause of the damage is analyzed in detail. The defective component is the data carrier for information about its manufacture, processing and stresses during operation.
EURO-LABOR offers systematic failure analyses in accordance with VDI guideline 3822 and tests to determine the causes of damage.
Materials investigation
The quality and properties of the primary material and the finished components are decisively influenced by the choice of materials. In order to ensure a certain quality of such a product, the materials are analyzed within the scope of material testing.
The aim of quality assurance is to ensure that a product achieves a defined level of quality. A wide variety of test methods can be used for this purpose.
EURO-LABOR can carry out both simple routine checks and special material tests for you.
Hydrogen investigations
As the climate-neutral energy source of the future, hydrogen presents many areas of technology with the task of mastering hydrogen embrittlement. In addition to damage caused by compressed hydrogen, mechanisms such as hydrogen-induced stress corrosion cracking, delayed crack formation and damage caused by production-related hydrogen also require a systematic understanding of the interrelationships.
EURO-LABOR offers comprehensive methods ranging from basic investigations to fractographic evaluations.
- Hydrogen analysis (TDS, LHA: non-destructive)
- Permeation measurements
- Comparative fractures
Analysis methods
We offer you the following examination methods, among others:
- Scanning electron microscopy with EDX spectrometer
- (3D) digital microscopy
- Metallographic examinations and light microscopy
- Full analysis using optical emission spectrometry
- Hardness measurement (Vickers, Brinell, Rockwell)
- Corrosion tests
- Mechanical-technological tests
- Weld seam examination and evaluation
For further testing methods, please contact us!
Materials consulting
and project management
Häufig sind nicht nur schadensanalytische Begutachtungen notwendig, sondern es gilt den Bogen weiter zu spannen und in Konstruktionen, Prozesse und Abläufe zu blicken.
EURO-LABOR supports you in the handling of comprehensive projects, whether in the field of design and material optimization, parameter studies or the processing of metrological issues.
Seminars
and in-house events
We offer seminars on selected topics relating to failure analysis and materials. These can be held on our premises in Bochum or as in-house events at locations of your choice. The respective seminars can include theoretical basic training and practical exercises on what has been learned.
We would be happy to provide you with suggestions and respond to your wishes.
About Us
EURO-LABOR is a service provider for failure analysis and material testing.
Failure analysis is often at the end of a chain of events that is usually associated with undesirable costs. At the same time, however, it can be the key to preventing recurrences. You can only learn from damage if you recognize its causes and initiate the necessary remedial measures. We offer you our support in this process.
Take your time to look around and gain an impression of our capabilities in failure analysis and materials testing. If you have any specific inquiries, please contact our staff directly.
EURO-LABOR GmbH was founded in August 2000 and was initially based in Witten.
In 2008, we moved into new premises near the campus of the Ruhr University Bochum to accommodate the increased space requirements and to ensure better accessibility for our customers.
Since then, the staff has more than doubled, as the demand for our services has also increased.
Im März 2023 erfolgte der Umzug in ein größeres Gebäude mit angeschlossener Halle in Bochum-Gerthe.
