The Laboratory of Materials and Coatings (LMR) of LNEG is a specialized center in the fields of corrosion, degradation and anticorrosive protection of materials.

Within the physical and chemical characterization of materials and coatings, the following tests can be carried out:

  • Vickers Microhardness*
  • X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) – Identification of crystalline constituents or phases in inorganic materials *
  • Qualitative or semi-quantitative chemical analysis of elements with atomic number> 5 by energy dispersion spectrometry (EDS) associated with scanning electron microscopy (SEM) *
  • Brinell hardness *
  • Rockwell hardness *
  • Vickers hardness *

* Test not included in the scope of accreditation.

Cost

Cost upon request.
