Provexa Technology –

Testing, R&D and Analysis

A specialized department for flexible testing and development.
We have consolidated our testing, research, and analysis into a dedicated department in order to offer, in addition to corrosion testing, flexible process evaluations and in-depth material analyses using unique equipment.

Increased requirements for electrical and chemical stability

Advancements in electronics, energy systems, and advanced manufacturing place higher demands on electrical contact stability and chemical resistance over time. We offer testing methods that combine micro-ohm measurements with environmental testing—including temperature, humidity, and corrosion cycles—to ensure reliability in demanding conditions. Our methods are designed to meet both current and future OEM requirements, regardless of application.

From complex requirements to conclusive results

Navigating a world of testing standards can be challenging. Our dedicated engineers make the journey simple. With expertise in materials and corrosion testing, we guide you to the right testing methods and transform complex data into valuable insights.

Our range of testing methods

We perform both standardized tests and tailor testing methods to your specific needs. Our laboratory is equipped with advanced corrosion chambers to simulate a wide range of environments. We can conduct accelerated tests that quickly provide indications of a material’s or coating’s lifespan, helping you make well-informed decisions in your product development.

When in-depth analysis is required

When a standard test is insufficient, or an unexpected defect occurs, our materials experts are ready. We conduct in-depth investigations to identify the root cause using advanced analytical techniques:

- Failure and defect analysis: We determine why a product does not perform as expected.
- Root cause investigations: We get to the bottom of the issue and provide answers on what caused the failure.
- Microstructural analysis: Examination of the material’s internal structure to understand its properties.
- SEM/EDS chemical mapping: We identify the precise chemical composition.

MRC Collaboration
