Corrosion and Failure Analysis

Luma provide a full service facility using the latest techniques and equipment, to perform microscopic and analytic studies of any surface. We specialize in corrosion and failure analysis using state of the art SEM, AAS and EDS techniques and equipment, to solve corrosion and product failure problems.

Our Quality Services

Topography
Surface irregularities, Surface roughness, Surface appearance.

Chemistry
Composition of corrosion residuals, Alloy composition, Identification.

Defects
Cracks, Pores in coating, Coating defects, Dirt, Bad adhesion of coating. These matters can also be studied by using cross section.

Corrosion
Type of corrosion, Corrosion products, Level of corrosion.

Cleanliness
Surface cleanliness can semi-quantitatively be studied by using backscattered electron mode, for example after the degreasing and pickling processes.

Luma’s key goals

  • Increase the positive impact that our products, services and technologies contribute to a cleaner, healthier world. Innovation potential is a key factor.
  • Secure and improve sustainable business practices in our supply chain
  • Increase our work within our local communities – support local business, e.g. by: placing local adds, offer vacation jobs, outsourcing parts of our production processes to local companies if possible.
  • Support Research and Development at regional and worldwide Universities in order to create new technical possibilities for a more healty environment in future.

Environmental policy

Our environmental policy refers to external environment and working environment.

External environment

For Luma´s employees this means in first line avoiding waste of energy. It often happens that production processes have to be adopted according to product requirements. Thisregarding our employees always shall have sustainability principles in mind. New production methods or set ups are to be checked according to sustainability principles.

Working environment

As Luma employs highly educated staff and because it takes a quite long time to get used to internal production processes and handling routines it is crucial that all staff feels well and motivated. Luma invests a lot of time and cost in education of our employees and wants them to stay for a long time during their professional life. Therfore security, stimulating working places and an open and communicative atmosphere are extremly important to Luma.

In addition to our environmental policy we actively protect external environment by e.g.:

  • using a Scrubber system for cleaing of plating atmosphere
  • Cleaning and re-use of water from the wire cleaning process
  • Filtration and re-use of potassium hydroxide from the wire cleaning process
