Failure Analysis
Failure analysis starts with understanding the problem. The first step is in depth review and discussion with the client. Following is thorough documentation of any materials and information received before deep diving into sample preparation and analysis. Each problem is different and will need tailored analysis. Typical techniques are fracture analysis with SEM-EDS, cross-sectional analysis, and hardness testing. Each step will be documented and presented in a final report with conclusions and recommendations.
