Failure Investigations*
We carry out a range of materials testing services that help determine the causes that have led to the failure of a part, equipment or structure/s. This is called metal failure analysis or failure investigation. If you're looking for a failure analysis lab, get in touch with our team.
Causes of failures include, but are not limited to, design flaws, material selection, raw material issues or misapplication of the component. Undertaking failure investigations can help to identify corrective actions and prevent failures occurring again in the future. This process also improves product design, therefore reducing costs.
