How to identify a material failure versus design or process errors

Engineer analyzing material microstructure with an electron microscope during a material failure analysis

What is industrial failure analysis? In any production environment, the appearance of a component that no longer performs its intended function raises a fundamental technical question: what is the origin of the problem? In many cases, the first reaction is to assume there is a material failure, especially when the component shows fractures, deformation or

How to investigate an industrial failure when no historical data exists

¿What is industrial failure investigation? In any production environment, the appearance of an unexpected nonconformity introduces a scenario of technical uncertainty that forces organizations to reconsider their usual analysis mechanisms. Industrial failure investigation becomes particularly complex when there are no documented precedents that allow patterns or trends to be identified. In such cases, the organization
