Failure Analysis
Failure analysis is a crucial part of product development, improvement, and quality control.
Failure analysis is a crucial part of product development, improvement, and quality control.
Failure analysis is the step-by-step process of determining the source of failure in products to correct the issue and use it to prevent recurrence of failure. Failure analysis is a crucial part of product development, improvement, and quality control. A multi-disciplinary suite of mechanical, chemical, physical, and environmental investigative studies is employed to characterize the failure and the failed material to understand the underlying issue and provide a comprehensive solution based on the findings. Failure analysis helps companies prevent future product failure, avoid financial losses, meet product safety and compliance standards, and determine future product liability.
Failure analysis is a routine service employed by manufacturers, commercial intermediaries, consumers, and insurance companies among a wide range of industries, including Aerospace, Energy, Transportation, Electronics, Construction, Medical Device, and Consumer Products.

The basic steps for failure analysis include:
1. Defining the problem.
2. Data collection.
3. Damage identification.
4. Testing the actual mechanism that leads to the failure.
5. Root cause analysis.
6. Determining the cause-effect relationship.
7. Testing the actual root cause.
8. Implementing corrective measures.

The different failure analysis tools and methods include:
• Failure data collection
• FMEA (Failure Mode, Effects and Analysis)
• FMECA (Failure Mode, Effects and Criticality Analysis)
• Fault Tree Analysis (FTA)
• Event Tree Analysis (ETA)
A failure analyst conducts QC checks, identifies errors, provides recommendation to avoid product/process failures, and overall works to increase the efficiency of a system. They also analyze past failures to avoid future product down-time.
ASTM E572 test method covers the analysis of stainless and alloy steels by Wavelength Dispersive X-ray Fluorescence Spectrometry (WDXRF). It provides rapid, multi-element determinations with sufficient accuracy to assure product quality.
The ASTM D2674 test is a standard test method for the analysis of sulfochromate etch solutions used in the surface preparation of aluminum. The ASTM D2674 standard specifies a method for determining the efficacy of an etchant used to prepare the surface of aluminum alloys for subsequent adhesive bonding.
An immunological method for quantization of Hevea Natural Rubber (HNRL) proteins using rabbit anti-HNRL serum. Rabbits immunized with HNRL proteins react to the majority of the proteins present, and their sera have the capability to detect most if not all the proteins in HNRL.
