Defect Analysis – Material Characterization
Material Characterization and Failure/Damage Analysis
The failure of a component can have highly significant technical, economic, and legal consequences. Phenomena such as fatigue, microstructural alterations, corrosion, fractures, inclusions, and other potential defects may lie at the root of the damage
Under a continuous improvement approach, our defect investigation analyses help our clients identify the root cause of the failure and optimize material development and selection, as well as the design, production processes, and operating conditions of components.
Our work is based on the VDI 3822 standard – Damage Analysis – Principles and Performance of a Damage Analysis, which establishes the principles and methodology for carrying out systematic, objective, and reliable damage analyses
