Metallurgical and Materials Failure Analysis
Did the bicycle brake fail due to assembly errors? Manufacturing defect? Improper use of materials?
How about the broken blade in a steam turbine? Was there improper welding? Was it machined incorrectly? Or was it subject to unexpected corrosion – and why?
And what about the outdoor polymer piping that cracked? What effect could weathering have had?
Crane Engineering can provide these answers and more by conducting failure analysis tests to explain premature, unexpected or disastrous structural damage. The company uses chemical, SEM/EDS, metallurgical and forensic failure analysis – applying the appropriate methodology for the material and the situation.
