Metallurgical cause of failure analysis is performed using the practice described in the American Society for Metals Handbook, 9th edition, volume 11. A battery of tests are performed in stages while accumulating evidence that is reviewed and assessed by our engineers and technical specialists. An engineering report is prepared and submitted, including photographic evidence, which reports observations, findings and conclusions. A more detailed description of the analytical process is available from our metallurgical department.
