Experience Counts!
The ATS Family of Companies (FoC) knows that when it comes to bolt failure analysis, experience counts. Our professional analysts and engineers have inspected and tested thousands of bolts, screws, and fasteners in our ISO/IEC 17025:2017-accredited labs.
Many manufacturers call on ATS for batch quality assurance inspections. Our experts will thoroughly test your product for consistency and quality, providing you with peace of mind when it reaches the market. When flaws and weaknesses are identified, our consulting engineering services are available to help resolve the issues.
Determining the Root Cause of Failure
Bolt failure analyses commonly reveal inappropriate installation, inadequate clamping load, poor product selection, material inadequacies, manufacturing flaws, and heat treatment deficiencies, leading to fatigue fractures, over-torque failures, and corrosion issues. Our technically advanced labs have the testing capability to identify the root causes of these bolt failures.
As a consumer, there may be times when you need to determine the root cause of a failure. This is particularly true when failure results in personal injury or a loss of assets. Our forensic failure analysis team offers a wide range of services, including initial inspections, litigation support, and expert witness testimony.
