Characterization Laboratory

Aim:

SEM laboratory was established to investigate surface morphologies of metallic and non-metallic materials at high magnification and resolution as well as to determine spatial distribution and the amounts of chemical elements (Be-U) in those materials. In addition to failure analysis, microstructure observation of new products is also the aim of this laboratory.
