Failure analysis: cracking cause' analysis and determination. Failure analysis is a particular exam that allows to detect the behaviour anomalies with different checks and observations.
Failure analysis and prevention are important to avoid the repetition of failures in future. The materials engineer often plays a lead role in the analysis of failures. Why failure analysis: if you carefully look at how expensive failures are, you would realize that the most part of your losses are due to the failed pieces.
A failure occurs when an item doesn't last as long as the user's expected time. The failure analysis is an examination of failed devices to determine the root cause of failure and to use such information to eventually improve product reliability.
Damage components sounding for defect causes determination and understanding to suggest eventual solving modifications.
Failure analysis is a real scientific research that requires a great technical acknowledge, experience, high technologies in machinery (optic microscope, electronic microscope, energetic survey, etc. ) and the availability of all the possible information related to the behaviour of the sample while working.
Thanks to all this the "failure analyst" can detect the problem and propose the best solutions or advices in order to avoid the repeating of the situations that had brought to the breakage. |
