Micro-materials analysis
The
Micro-Materials Section (MMS)
has worked on a vast range of
materials and products, such as
construction materials, building
products, consumer products,
industrial components,
mechanical parts and plant
facilities. The MMS team
comprises a diverse workforce of
geologists, material engineers
and chemists whose objective is
to provide impartial and
professional analysis, advice
and solutions in relation to the
design, selection,
characterization or failure
causes of materials to
customers.
