Material Failures

Many failures are caused by improper installation, manufacturing defects, improper application, fatigue, overloading, and corrosion.  Our engineers possess significant material science experience and have extensive knowledge regarding the failure of metal, plastic, and ceramic components.  We often utilize microscopy, metallurgy, gas chromatography/mass spectrometry, energy dispersive x-ray analysis (EDX), and other analysis techniques to assist with material failure analysis.

 

Types of Material Failure Investigations Include:

  • Product failure analysis

  • Chemical analysis

  • Stress, fatigue, and overload analysis

  • Corrosion and wear analysis

  • Material testing

  • Metallurgical analysis including the evaluation of microstructures.

We have over 25 years of experience in site investigation, litigation,
and design of solutions for complex problems.
