Failure Analysis

We treat the cause, not the symptom: In-depth analysis to identify the root causes of material failures, guiding you towards effective solutions and preventing future issues.

The Metallurgy MasterMind provides complete analysis, testing, technical reporting, and expert witness testimony services to investigate failures in structural components. Our customers include equipment manufacturers, users, industries, law firms, and insurance companies. Our extensive experience in root cause analysis and testing, augmented by our in-depth understanding of the design and performance aspects of mechanical equipment, enables us to provide a complete failure analysis service to our customers.

 

The T3M staff takes a disciplined approach in identifying whether a failure is caused by design deficiencies, material defects, operational abuse, misapplication, inadequate maintenance, or use beyond design life.

We conduct analysis in our laboratory to confirm the root cause failure. In some cases, the objective of a failure analysis is to identify the limiting component so that design modifications can be developed to improve performance and reliability of the equipment.

A comprehensive failure analysis can determine the root cause of failure of the component or asset failure or not perform as expected. The findings provide a road map for our customers to solve the problem, take remedial action and prevent recurrence.

Our highly experienced and experts in fields of automotive technology, aerospace, rail, mechanical and electrical engineering, foundry technology, material science (metallurgy, ceramics and polymers), non-destructive testing can effectively handle any size of problems with a wide range of solutions from simple to complex.
