GCM Lab research personnel and technicians use cutting edge instruments to characterize many types of materials, alloys and their coatings. Moreover, GCM Lab has unique capabilities to design functional coatings to reduce wear and corrosion. Our laboratories contain the equipment necessary to carry out advanced studies of chemical composition, inclusion identification and surface topography. Since metals and alloys are used in a variety of industries, our long experience has enabled us to develop an expertise covering a wide range of materials. Put us to the test: we will deliver!

Examples of application

• Identify the origin of corrosion
• Design anti-wear and anti-corrosion coatings
• Assess the purity of metals
• Identify an unknown alloy
• Determine the surface concentration of lead in biomedical applications
• Measure the concentration of toxic nickel at the surface of NiTi shape memory alloys
