材料失效分析

When components or materials fail, you need accurate analysis to quickly get solutions in place. With deep expertise in testing materials and failure mechanisms, we provide qualitative and quantitative analysis and characterization from material component failure analysis to product liability, 修复, 和修复. Our materials science team offers a wide range of analytical and failure investigation services on metals, 粘合剂, 涂料, 塑料, 水泥, 膏药, 陶瓷, 和森林.

Our state-of-the-art materials labs are equipped to help you evaluate and visualize the behavior of materials and chemicals, 包括混凝土, 塑料和弹性体. We have a full complement of testing capabilities to help characterize materials at different states including corrosion, 高温, 加速衰老.

Metals and alloys are used in a very wide range of components and applications, 利用他们的力量, 韧性, 耐蚀性, 导电性, 和延性. 在彩宝网, our metallurgists can support the materials failure analysis of metal components as small as copper wires or failed bolts, up to structures as large as vehicles, 建筑框架, 或桥梁. With support from our materials science and analysis, the forensic investigation of metallic components that have cracked, 腐蚀, or failed allows the identification of the origin and cause of the failure.

Welded structures such as pressure equipment, 管道, 化学加工设备, 桥梁, 海上结构物, 或起重机, can cause significant financial penalties from the costs of shutdown, 修复 and/or replacement when they fail. Welds are susceptible to a range of material failure mechanisms that are rarely seen in parent metals, meaning that the involvement of a qualified welding engineer for the forensic investigation of welded components is highly desirable. We provide expert analysis of welding quality and material failure mechanisms, both from examination on-site and from subsequent laboratory investigation and interpretation of documentary evidence in cases of weld failures.
