Failure Analysis of Metal Problems

Struggling to determine the root cause of component failures and quality problems?

Do you know the steps to take to quickly solve component reliability and quality problems?

When you receive results from a metallurgical lab, do you know what to do next?

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

Learn how to perform a failure analysis

This webinar covers the steps of a metallurgical failure analysis, the equipment used, the data obtained, and how the results are used to determine the root cause of metal problems. Also, fracture analysis is covered.

Case studies of component reliability and quality problems will be used to help teach the concepts covered.

By the end you will better understand how to work with metallurgical labs on a failure analysis, how to participate in a failure analysis, and how to read failure analysis reports. You’ll gain confidence about what to do when a problem occurs. No longer does a problem have to drag on.

Webinar details

• Date: Tuesday, November 16, 2021
• Time: 10:00 am to noon central time
• Instructor: Michael Pfeifer, Ph.D., P.E.

Webinar attendees will receive a webinar slides document prior to the webinar and will have 14 days access to the webinar recording.

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 a problem
• Four common fracture modes and their appearance
• Common failure mechanisms associated with cracks and fractures

Case studies of component reliability and quality problems will be used to help teach the concepts covered.

Target Audience

Design, reliability,  manufacturing, and quality engineers.
