Intake & scoping
- Discuss issue with client; define steps and required data.
- Conduct preliminary assessments; clarify process and costs.
- Offer a quote.
Overview
Identify how and why a product or material failed
A comprehensive, systematic approach that combines microscopic examination, material testing, and data analysis to pinpoint root causes and provide actionable recommendations—improving reliability and minimizing recurrence.
Clear findings, practical recommendations, and easy-to-understand reports with complete
test data and photographs.
How it works
Three phases from intake to implementation
Assessments & review
- Execute assessments and gather essential data.
- Collaborate on data review to pinpoint the root cause.
- Provide a report enabling confident decisions.
Implementation
- Develop an implementation plan.
- Carry out the plan efficiently.
- Evaluate outcomes with measurable data.
Scope
Investigation types
Fracture failure investigation
Fractography to reveal fatigue, brittle, or ductile mechanisms; expert imagery and analysis with recommendations to prevent recurrence.
Corrosion failure investigation
Root-cause analysis of pitting, SCC, galvanic and related mechanisms; corrective actions and materials alternatives for durability.
Process
From initiation to root cause & report
- Initiation of a project.
- Background information and review of requirements.
- Resource allocation and planning.
- Examination of potential failure mechanisms.
- Realization of the most probable root cause.
- Failure analysis report with conclusions, data, and photographs.
