Analyse and understand the failure of a part, product or metallic equipment
Failure, damage of metallic parts
Your expectations
A metallic part is considered to be defective when it no longer ensures its function (damaging, fracture, alteration of the surface appearance, variation of geometry or its mechanical characteristics).
Further to the failure of the metallic part, you would like to conduct an analysis in order to:
identify the causes, origins and solutions
understand the damage or aging phenomenon (phenomena)
determine the liability of the parties involved (designer, supplier, manufacturer, user)
Our solutions
We offer and conduct a comprehensive investigation which leverages on a stringent methodology based on all the examinations and parameters related to the failure:
expert investigation on site
analysis of fracture, wear, distortion, corrosion, surface alteration, geometrical and material health analysis, mechanical and physical characterisation of materials
simulation in the laboratory: accelerated aging (corrosion, wear/friction, fatigue, creep)
identification of any design, manufacturing or use defects
advice regarding the redesign and improvement of processes
