Your contact

You are welcome to contact me for all questions concerning material testing and error analysis. I will be at your side to advise you and also help you to completely eliminate material problems in the future.

What you need to do

In our (failure) analyses, the material provided is very important. Simply contact us without obligation and we will advise you which materials must be provided in what quantity for a meaningful test and how you should ideally package the samples to avoid possible contamination with neighbouring materials.

For the tests we need

  • the faulty samples and components from the various production steps,

  • comparative copies without the defects complained of ("good samples"),

  • a detailed description of the production, sample, error or task,

  • nformation on the timing of the individual production stages.

Please send the samples to:  

Fogra Forschungsinstitut für Medientechnologien e.V.
Department Materials & Environment
Einsteinring 1a
85609 Aschheim b. München
Germany

Please make sure that no transfer to good samples can take place in case of contamination to be tested. Pack the samples separately in aluminium foil, for example.

Our procedure

Failure analysis contant angle measuring device

After viewing all the materials, we will define the framework conditions with you and discuss the analysis tasks, test methods and work steps that we have to perform. After receipt of your order you will receive an order confirmation, in which all details regarding test period, contact person and price are summarised. Finally, we carry out the commissioned tests and summarise the results in a report.
