Failure analysis

Failure Analysis Tests

Failure analysis is a systematic and scientific process used to determine why a component, material, or system failed during service. The aim is not only to identify the failure, but to understand the root cause and prevent recurrence. It is a critical discipline across industries like aerospace, automotive, and electronics used to identify root causes, prevent future occurrences, and improve product reliability

FAILURE ANALYSIS TEST

Visual Inspection: Non-destructive examination of the failed part to identify obvious clues like cracks, discoloration, or wear patterns.
Non-Destructive Testing (NDT): Using techniques like Radiography Test (RT ) or Ultrasonic Testing ( UT ) to inspect internal structures without altering the sample
Destructive Testing: Performing lab tests such as Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), chemical analysis, and hardness testing to analyze material properties at the failure site
Fractography and Metallurgical examination
Evaluation of service and operating condition
Root Cause Analysis (RCA): Applying logical frameworks like the Five Whys or Fishbone Diagrams to link physical evidence to systemic issues.
