Materials expertise and precision scientific research

SPRG is a laboratory dealing with materials, their structure, methods of production and processing. We perform independent materials science expertise and scientific researches.

Areas of our activity:

  1. Determination of a material quality, the causes of faults and defects.
  2. Reverse engineering of materials production technology.
  3. Scientific information obtained by non-trivial ways.
  4. Forensic examination for arbitral and civil cases.
  5. Reviewing of expert reports realized by other organizations.

We solve these problems by applying a set of non-standard precise methods of physical materials science using unique equipment, knowledge and experience.

Services

For various fields of science and technology, we are engaged in research, composition, properties and production technology of a wide class of materials, and analysis of the surface composition and structure of solids. The services provided can be divided into materials science expertise and physical researches.

Materials science expertise

We study various materials in the solid state: metals, alloys, steels, semiconductors of various chemical compositions, polymers, etc.

  • Independent materials science examination of the quality of materials.
  • Determination of the chemical composition of steels, alloys, coatings.
  • Establishing the causes of premature destruction of various products and structures.
  • Identification of the causes of manufacturing defects and recommendations for their elimination.
  • Reverse engineering of the manufacturing technology of objects based on the presented samples.
  • Comprehensive analysis of the surface of solid materials.

Physical researches

We conduct research in the field of solid state physics to provide researchers and students with a research base. Research methods can be ordered or selected by us.

  • Chemical and phase composition of thin surface layers.
  • Atomic structure of the surface.
  • Electronic and band structure of solids.
  • Degree of oxidation, kinetics of oxidation.
  • Multicomponent grain boundary segregation.
  • Wear products on friction surfaces.
  • Micromechanisms of failure.

Upon completion of the service, the customer gets a corresponding research report or test report.

We have stationary equipment and we work with the samples provided, which can be destroyed during the research process.
