Ceramics are becoming very prominent materials. With the evolution of these materials, we have good experiences in mechanical characterization of ceramics. The fracture toughness allows important information about the ceramics and the Revetest enable to measure the scratch resistance of a tile floor.

In ceramics, we have many knowledge in:

  • Bulk ceramics
  • Characterization of Fracture toughness
  • Ceramic coatings
  • Standard mechanical characterization
  • Ceramic beahrings
  • Tribology and sliding lifetime
  • Ceramic knifes
  • Hardness profiling

    ...etc
