Failure Analysis provide a clear picture of the root cause, and
include recommendations to avoid future failures - from component
design, through material selection and processing.
Identification of Failure mode
Failure mode identification test such as Failure Mode Verification
Testing\sR (FMVT), Highly Accelerated Life Testing (HALT) and
Multiple Environment Over Stress Test (MEOST) have provided a
solid means of identifying failure modes quickly.
Contamination Analysis
Contaminants analyzed include complex matrices, liquids, solids,
metal and inorganic particulates, fibres (polymeric and inorganic),
silicones and surfactants, reaction by-products, decomposition
products, greases and lubricants, cleaning agents and fragments
from polymeric filters, seals and other components of process
equipment, environmental samples and much more.
Corrosion
Corrosion means the breaking down of essential properties in a
material due to chemical reactions with its surroundings.
