Failure Analysis

The root cause of many material failures often has a particulate basis. Examples include contaminants in the manufacturing process, heterogeneous distribution of alloying inclusions, environmental effects, and mechanical defects. Our staff scientists use state-of-the-art instruments and techniques to provide you reliable, confidential failure analysis results.
