Failure Analysis

Do you need

What we have

To know the root cause of why your component, structure or plant failed?
To know what causes your decrease in production yield?
To know whether your component or structure sustained damage during operations that exceeded the operational limits?
A second opinion, an independent expert or report on failure analysis?
Recommendations to prevent failure in the future?

A Test House specialized in material research and engineering failure analysis on complex components
Over 60 years of experience in aerospace and defence industry that strives for the highest safety standards
Extensive knowledge on failure modes of materials with a specialization in:
- structural materials
- high temperature materials (Ni-, Co- and Ti-alloys)
- composites
Equipment for mechanical testing, materials analysis and fractography, which enable full analysis capabilities:
- Dynamic and static test machines
- Optical- and scanning electron microscopes (SEM)
- Energy dispersive analysis of X-rays in the SEM (EDX, for analysis of the chemical composition)
- Non-destructive testing
Experts that do not only have the necessary know how for interpretation of the results, but who can also perform simulations to get a better insight into the overall problem
Experts that are able to combine their knowledge on materials, production techniques and problem solving to determine the root cause of decreased production yields
Quality assurance, traceability and reports that meet the highest international standards and give recommendation to prevent failures in the future
