Residue Analysis

Mysterious stains or discolorations, unidentified residues, deposits, or corrosion on the surface of a part can be a proof, and these are often difficult and costly to solve.

Residue Analysis

EUROLAB residue analysis experts are trained in techniques that can help you determine the nature of the beast and reach the bottom of unknown substances that can have a detrimental effect on your parts or products.

Our specialists use a combination of analysis techniques to characterize various types of residues. SEM / EDS (Energy Distributor X-Ray Spectroscopy and Scanning Electron Microscope) analysis is used to determine the basic composition of the residue with XRD (X-Ray Diffraction), which is sometimes used to identify the specific compounds present. FTIR (Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy) is sometimes used when residues exhibit high levels of carbon or other low energy elements or are too thin to be accurately analyzed by the SEM / EDS system.

When a more in-depth analysis is desired or required, a combination of stereomicroscopy, SEM analysis and metallurgical examination can be used to characterize the residue as above the surface (sediment or stain) or below the surface (corrosion product).
