Failure analysis

Identify cause of failure and premature wear

• Material’s quality

• Mechanical and thermal cracking

• Welded joints cracking

• Surface defects

• Hydrogen embrittlement

• Residual stress

• Bad conception

• Overload

• Environment

• Abrasion

Degradation investigation

Indentify corrosion phenomena and suggest solutions

• Galvanic corrosion

• Stress corrosion cracking

• Uniform corrosion

• Localized corrosion : pitting, crevice, deposit corrosion

• Bacterial corrosion

• Aeration cell corrosion

• Erosion-corrosion

• Exfoliation

Product comparison investigation

Identify metallurgical differences between two products from a supplier or different suppliers

• Competition evaluation

• Comparative investigation of quality-price-performance between two or more products

• Products metallurgical differentiation

• Manufacturing process identification

Material selection

Choose the best material at better cost for a specified application

• Product premature wear

• In-service frequent failure

• Long and costly shutdown

• New products and conception

• New regulation and normalisation

Client/supplier arbritration

Supply a technical expertise in legal litigation

• Supplier litigation

• Client litigation

• Contervaluation with clients or suppliers
