FAILURE ANALYSIS
Despite your best efforts at maintaining a quality manufacturing environment, or purchasing from high-quality suppliers, sometimes parts and products fail. You need answers quickly to resolve production problems, customer claims, or litigation cases. IMR Test Labs Failure Analysis group can help you get the answers you need.
With a diverse array of services at hand, our failure analysts & engineers can offer an array of services on metals and plastics, from alloy verification to scanning electron microscopy of fracture surfaces. Our experts can tell you why parts fail, and offer recommendations to prevent recurrence.
Our client list encompasses a wide range of industries, from jet engine failures, to brittle dishware, requiring an extensive knowledge of failure analysis techniques. We have performed thousands of failure analyses requiring extensive knowledge of:
