Failure investigations determine the primary cause of a failure where a component part has become completely inoperable, or has deteriorated seriously that it has become unreliable or unsafe for continued use.

The diagnosis will allow corrective action that will prevent similar failure events. The analysis will include determination of fracture modes, material chemistry, microstructural features, mechanical properties and prognostic recommendations.

Weld repair procedures and specifications for welding, brazing and metal spraying are considered and reviewed with reference to economics and usability.

Corrosion mechanics identification of damaging species causing the electrochemical reaction between a metal alloy and its environment are studied.
