Failure Analysis Services in India

Unexpected metal fracture or deformation can arise from material defects, process errors, or in service loading conditions. We combine microscopy and metallurgical examination to identify the underlying cause.

Techniques commonly used: FESEM, EBSD, metallography.

Gear failures such as tooth pitting, breakage, or scoring are examined to determine whether the root cause is material quality, heat treatment, lubrication, or loading conditions.

Techniques commonly used: FESEM, metallography, hardness testing.

Bearing spalling, seizure, and wear debris are analyzed to distinguish between contamination, misalignment, lubrication failure, and material related causes.

Techniques commonly used: FESEM, EDX analysis, metallography.

Shaft fatigue cracking and torsional failure are investigated through fracture surface examination to identify the crack origin and loading pattern that led to failure.

Techniques commonly used: Fractography, metallography.

Weld porosity, cracking, and incomplete fusion are examined to determine whether the issue originated from welding parameters, material compatibility, or joint design.

Techniques commonly used: FESEM, metallography, XRD.

Pitting corrosion and stress corrosion cracking are investigated to identify the corrosive mechanism and contributing environmental or material factors.

Techniques commonly used: FESEM/EDX, XRD, XPS.

Coating delamination, blistering, and wear through are examined to understand adhesion loss and interface quality between the coating and substrate.

Techniques commonly used: AFM, FESEM cross section, FIB.

Crack origin and propagation path are identified using fracture surface examination, helping determine whether cracking initiated from a defect, stress concentration, or material weakness.

Techniques commonly used: Fractography, FESEM.

Fracture surface features are examined in detail to determine the mode of failure, whether brittle, ductile, or fatigue related, and to trace the sequence of events leading to failure.

Techniques commonly used: FESEM, stereomicroscopy.

Beach marks and fatigue striations on a fracture surface confirm cyclic loading failure and help estimate the crack growth pattern over the component's service life.

Techniques commonly used: FESEM fractography.

Abrasive and adhesive wear patterns are analyzed to determine the underlying mechanism, whether from contamination, lubrication breakdown, or surface mismatch.

Techniques commonly used: FESEM, AFM, profilometry.

Foreign particles and inclusions are identified and traced back toward their likely source using surface and chemical analysis.

Techniques commonly used: FESEM/EDX, FTIR, XPS.

Incorrect hardness or microstructure resulting from heat treatment is examined to identify whether the process parameters, quenching, or material response caused the issue.

Techniques commonly used: Metallography, hardness testing.

Porosity, segregation, and inclusions present within the material itself are identified to determine whether the defect originated during material production.

Techniques commonly used: FESEM, XRD, Micro-CT.

Process induced flaws are distinguished from material or design related issues, helping identify whether a defect originated during forming, machining, or assembly.

Techniques commonly used: FESEM, Micro-CT, metallography.

Capacity fade, thermal events, and dendrite formation in lithium ion cells are investigated using techniques suited to air sensitive battery materials, handled under appropriate conditions.

Techniques commonly used: FESEM/EDX, XRD, XPS.

Gate oxide breakdown, dopant fluctuation, and wafer level defects are investigated using atomic scale techniques suited to modern semiconductor node dimensions.

Techniques commonly used: APT, TEM, FIB.
