Aerospace Materials Testing
EAG has provided aerospace materials testing services for over 50 years. We have partnered with Aerospace customers improving fuel efficiency by utilizing composite materials to reduce weight and complied with the stringent requirements for military electronics whist maintaining IP security and ITAR registration.
Services for Aerospace Materials Testing
The next generation of lighter and stronger aerospace materials presents challenges of controlling purity and reliability. Using advanced analytical tools and proven methodologies, EAG Laboratories can support all aerospace materials testing from R&D to failure analysis. Our scientists and engineers are experts at translating scientific questions into novel study designs and test systems, and have applied advanced analytical methodologies to answer complex engineering and manufacturing questions. We have solved complex failures of components such as aircraft fuselage, landing gears, gears and bearings, high pressure hydraulic hoses and fuel lines, turbine engines (compressor & hot section components), turbine and compressor blades, propellers, hydraulic system/fuel lines, LVDT and temperature sensors and more.
HOW WE CAN HELP
EAG offers a comprehensive suite of aerospace materials testing services for the aerospace industry, meeting the industry’s exacting standards for tight controls of material properties, composition and chemistry. EAG is a certified partner (ISO 9001:2015, ISO 17025, DSCC, ITAR compliant, MIL standards compliant) and offers a comprehensive suite of services to innovate new high-performance materials, test the reliability of aerospace electronic systems and investigate structural and metallurgical failures of aircraft. Here are just a few ways we can help:
Production support for tracing elemental impurities in ingots and manufactured parts, and in the raw metal powders that go into nickel base superalloys, titanium alloys, cobalt alloys, and other alloys.
Full structural characterization of CMC materials, including chemical composition, impurities, microstructure, and interface chemistry of reinforcement fibers such as SiC, SiCN and carbon fibers.
Monitoring impurity concentrations in raw materials (sulfur, phosphorus) with great consistency and sensitivity using techniques such as GDMS, IGA, ICP-OES and ICP-MS.
System level testing for reliability and failure analysis of component and modules. This includes selection of tester platform, hardware and fixture design, ATE test program in both development, and production.
DPA testing is performed on materials used in aerospace, commercial, military, and government applications. EAG is DLA (Defense Logistics Agency) certified for various MIL-STD testing requirements.
Providing internal gas and water vapor content in microelectronic components with troubleshooting and corrective actions. We support MIL-STD-883, Method 1018 and MIL-STD-750, Method 1018.
Failure analysis investigations of fractures including fatigue, slow crack growth mechanisms, brittle and ductile overload, stress, corrosion, oxidation and hydrogen embrittlement.
Our sister company, Eurofins E&E, can evaluate components for use in extreme electromagnetic & environmental conditions to identify design flaws and bring equipment from development to production.
