Fracture surfaces contain critical evidence that reveals the history and mechanism of failure. Our Fractography and Fracture Investigation services utilize advanced optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and metallurgical analysis to characterize fracture features and determine the origin and progression of cracks.
Our experts investigate a wide range of fracture mechanisms, including fatigue cracking, brittle fracture, ductile overload, stress corrosion cracking, hydrogen-assisted cracking, creep damage, thermal fatigue, and environmentally assisted failures.
provide valuable insights that enable clients to improve component design, material selection, manufacturing By identifying crack initiation sites, propagation paths, and contributing operational factors, we quality, and maintenance practices while reducing the risk of future failures.
