------------------------------------------------------------------
The General Dynamics Defense Systems Test and Analysis Labs consist of
four fully equipped and staffed facilities: Materials & Processes
Lab, Component Test & Analysis Center, Scanning Electron Microscope
Lab, and Environmental Lab.
OUR MISSION:
Provide expertise and management/implement test and analysis
capabilities for customers in the areas of materials, processes, and
electronics. Perform cost effective, timely and high quality analyses
that result in the selection of the best products/processes and the
most effective resolution of issues.
SCOPE:
Analysis to fit the needs throughout product life cycle: from design,
through production and during customer use.
Types of analysis include: manufacturing process evaluation,
metallurgical, chemical, electromechanical & electronic parts
assessment, failure analysis ... and more.
CAPABILITIES:
Electrical: parametric testing, burn-in, life test, ESD
Mechanical: vibration, thermal shock and cycling, mechanical shock,
tensile strength, seal integrity, bond strength, die shear,
acceleration (centrifuge)
Chemical/Materials: material identification, wet and spectrometric
chemical analysis, contamination appraisal, humidity, salt spray,
resistance to solvents, life test, particle impact noise detection
(PIND), atmospheric corrosivity, material compatibility, outgassing,
trace metals analysis, and ion chromatography
Physical: photometry, colorimetry, dimensional, photographs, visual
inspection to 2000x, SEM microscopy to 70,000x, infrared thermography,
microthermography, and plating thickness
Metallurgical: cross sectioning, grain size, microstructure,
fractography, hardness and microhardness, and surface morphology
