Imaging Laboratory

Quality control in all phases

During and post-production

The imaging division carries out:

The high quality of the service offered by the Imaging Laboratory and its Team is also a fundamental resource for Research and Development, which uses the Imaging division to monitor and improve projects relating to creating new Products and Processes.

  • INVESTIGATIONS on the morphology of surface imperfections (pitting, blanching, flaking, cracks, etc.), by means of high magnification optical and electronic microscopes.
  • DETERMINATION of the thickness and of the alloy of electroplating depositions with destructive and non-destructive analyses.
  • DETERMINATION of the colorimetric coordinates and, therefore, of the colour balance of the sample.
  • ACCELERATED CORROSION TEST in order to highlight any sample defects that may be found over time.
  • DRAFTING of construction specifications, consistent with the requirements of the custome
  • Experience and Expertise are the basis of the quality service provided by the Imaging Team to its Customers, to whom the division offers assistance and support, from the choice of the test to the detailed description of the results obtained.
