Failure Analysis / Forensic Analysis Services

CE-Tech is affiliated with Georgia Tech Materials Analysis Center (MAC)  where:

  • CE-Tech manages key programs for Georgia Tech
  • As well as CE-Tech using the MAC to complete materials research on their projects for key clients.

The Materials Analysis Center at GTRI offers specialized analysis and characterization of materials and material processes.

The center also conducts independent research and development in partnership with industries that cannot afford to acquire costly instrumentation, as well with other industries and branches of the U.S. government.

Services and instrumentation offered by the center include surface and thin-film analysis, analytical electron microscopy of solids and small particulate matter, thermal analysis and visible/infrared reflection and emission properties.

Additional research developments include:

  • ceramic composite interfaces
  • infrared reflectivity and emissivity
  • electro-migration and corrosion in microelectronics devices
  • solder microstructures
  • coatings analysis
  • qualification of instruments.
