Understand the material
We review the material type, form, application, and the question you need the analysis to answer.
G-Hexa characterizes a wide range of materials, from metals and alloys to polymers, ceramics, composites, battery materials, powders, graphene, and semiconductor materials, using techniques matched to each material's structure and application.
Explore the main material groups handled by G-Hexa. The exact characterization technique is confirmed after reviewing your specific sample and objective.
A material does not automatically determine a single characterization route. G-Hexa reviews the sample and the objective first, then confirms the appropriate technique and preparation need.
We review the material type, form, application, and the question you need the analysis to answer.
The characterization route is selected according to the sample and the information required from it.
Preparation requirements vary by material and technique and are confirmed during the sample review.
These notes describe the general characterization approach for each material group. The exact technique is confirmed after reviewing the specific sample.
Steel and stainless steel samples are examined for microstructure, phase composition, and corrosion related issues, supporting both quality control and failure investigation.
Aluminium alloys are characterized for fatigue behavior, corrosion resistance, and microstructural features relevant to automotive and aerospace applications.
Titanium alloys are examined for fatigue and microstructural characteristics relevant to aerospace and other high performance applications.
Nickel based superalloys used in turbines and high temperature applications are examined for creep behavior and high temperature degradation.
Polymer samples are analyzed for chemical composition, thermal behavior, and phase related characteristics using spectroscopy and thermal analysis.
