Material characterization tests

Cetim Morocco supports you through a series of standardized tests and metallurgical analyses to determine the physical and mechanical properties of a metallic or composite material and its suitability for the intended applications.

Your challenges

In a demanding international regulatory environment, manufacturers must guarantee the quality and reliability of their products in the face of an ever-increasing number of innovative materials that are subject to severe operating conditions.

Whether you are launching a product, monitoring production quality, or dealing with a failure, you want to identify the mechanical and metallurgical characteristics of your materials in order to validate a design, ensure compliance with international standards, verify the reliability of your production process, or identify the causes of damage.

Our services
