After participating in this course, you will be able to:
- Analyse failed parts and components using a systematic approach and obtain conclusions based on sound scientific principles.
- Apply this information to improve design and reliability of metallic, ceramic and polymer parts and machinery.
Description
Today’s competitive industrial environment demands reliable and effective solutions to problems. Root cause failure analysis is essential to improve quality and reliability and prevent catastrophic failures. While a large range of analytical techniques are now available, proper methodology and techniques must be used to obtain reliable results.
This course will focus on practical techniques to perform a successful failure analysis. Relying on years of experience, the instructor will describe techniques and approaches combined with practical examples. The participants are encouraged to bring examples from their own experience for discussion and preliminary analysis.
Course Outline
- Basic principle of failure analysis
- Destructive and non-destructive testing
- Basic types and properties of materials: polymers, ceramics and metals
- Most common types of Failures (fatigue, corrosion, overload, environmental degradation, etc…)
