Do you know the steps to take to quickly solve component failures?

When you receive results from a metallurgical lab, do you know what to do with the data to get to the root cause?

Metallurgical failure analysis is an important step in the process of determining the root cause of component failures. But, many people struggle with the steps to take to get the information needed to quickly determine the root cause of problems.

If you’re ever involved with failure analysis of fractured or cracked metal components, this webinar is for you. You’ll learn how to get to the bottom of failures faster by understanding how to work with metallurgical labs on a failure analysis, how to better participate in a failure analysis, and help you better understand failure analysis reports.

This webinar teaches the steps of a failure analysis, the equipment used, how to differentiate between different fracture modes, and what the results mean.  You'll gain confidence about what to do when a problem occurs. No longer does a problem have to drag on. This is our most popular webinar for engineers.

What you will learn

  • Steps of a metallurgical failure analysis and how it fits in with root cause analysis
  • Common analysis tools used to examine metals, the data obtained, and how the data is used to determine the root cause of component failures
  • Four common fracture modes and their appearance
  • Common failure mechanisms associated with cracks and fracture
  • How to perform a failure analysis on fractured and cracked components and joints

Examples of actual failures will be used as case studies.

Webinar attendees will receive a webinar slides document prior to the webinar and will have 7 days access to the webinar recording.

What people say about our courses

Engineers and technical professionals use this course to build practical metallurgy knowledge they can apply in design, manufacturing, quality, and supplier related work.

  • "Principles of Metallurgy covered the foundations of metallurgy and effects of manufacturing processes needed to obtain desired mechanical properties. This information has been valuable during my work in both design and manufacturing. I highly recommend it for someone that could benefit from knowledge of the fundamentals of metallurgy."
    Chris M.
    Mechanical Design Engineer
    Oil & Gas Industry
  • The Principles of Metallurgy course was a great refresher and supplement to the Properties of Materials course I took in college. The content focuses on information relative to industry, which will help greatly in my day-to-day job functions.
    Alex Nocera
    Ensign-Bickford Aerospace and Defense
  • Well worth the time to do Metallurgy of Steel Heat Treating. It has given me more confidence in my job and given me a better understanding of some of the heat treatments used in the business
    Mark Winter
    Test House, Abbey Forged Products
  • I learned a bunch from this course. I needed an understanding of the heat treating and metals for our heat treating process in house. I now have a much better understanding of what is accomplished in the process along with understanding what could be a problem in our process.
