Failure Analysis – Materials
Failure analysis – materials is the investigation into the background or history of a sample, or an event, to determine why a particular failure occurred. A product failure may include premature breakage, discoloration or even an unexpected odor. It is useful to know if this failure is a new, unique occurrence or if it has been an ongoing issue. The investigation can involve analyzing the sample as it currently exists and extrapolating from that data what may have caused the failure. A sample of the “good” vs. “bad” product may also be useful for comparison purposes.
