Triboelectrical characterization
Fretting
Electrical contacts are pervasively found on countless modern devices and systems. It is imperative that connecting components present adequate electrical, mechanical, and chemical characteristics to fulfill the crucial role that they play in the system.
Complementing our microstructure analysis, we are able to perform the following triboelectrical measurements under controlled conditions to ensure that the stringent requirements for these parts are met:
- Eletrical contact resistance (ECR)
- Insertion force (including normal force, friction force and coefficient of friction for one or multiple insertion cycles)
- Current sweep
- Electrical arc discharge
- Indentation
- Scratch test
- Fretting
For the counter-electrode, we can choose between round-headed or flat-headed rivets as well as several typical contact materials.

Further areas of application
AI and Machine Learning
Our services range from feasibility studies with our various approaches to exploratory data analysis with unsupervised ML.
Correlative microscopy
A correlative characterisation of microstructures serves as a benchmark for automated microstructure recognition and as a starting point for machine learning approaches.
Failure analysis
In the area of failure analysis, in addition to identifying and analyzing causes of fracture, we are also able to fully characterize components on both the macro and micro scales.
Material Analysis and Microscopy
From chemical analyses, microstructural investigations and texture analyses to high-resolution 3D tomography in the nanometer range.
Surface functionalization
We offer high-resolution imaging and chemical analysis of surfaces as well as profile recordings for determining layer systems using FIB cross-sections.
