Samples In – Data Out – Repeat!
This is how some analytical labs operate. But at Cerium Labs our scientists aren't just here to run your tests and send you a report. We want to be part of your team!
One such relationship is the one we have with Dr. Judy Runge. Dr. Runge is an expert in metallurgy with over 30 years of experience. We have worked with Dr. Runge on several projects related to the growth of aluminum oxide on aluminum, also known as anodization.
One project of note was related to an issue where anodized aluminum on a particular product was blistering. Our team of scientists, along with Dr. Runge, investigated further into the underlying issue. The results pointed to an interfacial reaction due to the elemental components of the aluminum alloy.
While most metallurgic testing is done at a macroscale, Cerium provided a microscale look using Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM).
Over the years we have helped people like Dr. Runge solve customer issues and contribute to the science and understanding of aluminum anodization. Cerium's scientists want to be part of your team too.
