SEM Microscopy EDX

The SEM/EDX is used primarily as a forensic tool to investigate the performance or failure of materials. It is an important component to the petrographic microscope and other testing capabilities for the study of materials.

Polymer Separation as Point of Contact

The client had excessive “rubber like” deposits forming in a $600,000 gearbox. This happened shortly after changing to a different brand of lubricant. Using SEM and other analysis, Herguth Laboratories, Inc. successfully argued that the polymer was unstable and was the source of the deposit. Our client recouped ALL of their cost associated with this failure!
