Product & Material Failure

When a product or component fails, we determine whether design, material, or maintenance factors are to blame. Our investigations integrate materials analysis, laboratory testing, and engineering evaluation to determine the root cause.

Services include:

  • Mechanical and electrical failure analysis

  • Metallurgical and fracture examination

  • Design adequacy and stress evaluation

  • Product testing and replication of failure

  • Product use instructions & warnings

  • Standards and compliance assessment

  • Root cause and contributing factor analysis
