FAILURE ANALYSIS

We provide an independent failure investigation service for metallic and polymeric materials.

Our expertise in failure investigation includes:

  • Fatigue, brittle and ductile fracture mechanisms.
  • Corrosion processes, stress corrosion cracking and hydrogen embrittlement of metals.
  • Chemical attack and environmental stress cracking of polymers.
  • Wear mechanisms, adhesive, abrasive, cavitation erosion and fretting.

We have extensive laboratory equipment providing high quality analysis of all aspects of a failure:

Our areas of expertise include:

Leo 435VP Scanning Electon Microscope with Oxford Isis 300 EDS Fractured Bolt
Dezincification
Brass particles
