Residual stress measurement determines stress states within components without external loads. These stresses are crucial for understanding material condition, fatigue strength and service life, especially under dynamic loads.

By understanding residual stresses, components can be optimised in a targeted way. This leads to improved service life, increased process reliability and better evaluation of manufacturing steps.

With expanded laboratory capacity, including at least two X-ray stress analysers and automated processes, measurements can be performed quickly and efficiently both in the lab and on-site.

Yes, mobile X-ray stress analysers allow residual stress measurements to be carried out directly at the customer’s location throughout Germany.

Modern X-ray stress analysers are used for measurement. In addition, electrochemical etching is applied for depth profiling and slit-light microscopy is used for precise depth determination.

Yes, residual stress depth profiles can be accurately measured using electrochemical etching combined with precise three-dimensional depth measurement.

For complex component geometries, immersion baths with masking of surrounding areas are used to ensure precise and targeted measurements.

Yes, all measurements can be provided with a DAkkS certificate upon request, ensuring maximum quality, traceability and comparability.

Calibration specimens ensure measurement accuracy. They are DAkkS-certified and validated through regular internal and external comparisons. Customised specimens can also be produced.

Yes, by using automation, six-axis robots and the StressEasy software solution, even complex series measurements and high-resolution residual stress mappings can be carried out cost-effectively.

Process development, such as shot peening, is carried out in-house. Residual stress measurements accompany optimisation steps, significantly reducing development time.

In addition to shot peening, alternative processes such as cold rolling and laser peening without coating (LPwC) can also be analysed and evaluated in terms of residual stress.
