The Applied Technical Services Family of Companies provides failure analysis consulting to analyze the root causes of material, component, and system failures for clients working in industries such as building, construction, electronics, manufacturing, automotive, aerospace, and aviation.
Failure Analysis Consulting Services
The process of failure analysis consulting begins with the identification and characterization of the failure. Our failure analysis experts inspect the failed component or system, including its design specifications and operating conditions. ATS failure analysis inspectors use physical examination and nondestructive testing techniques such as visual inspection, microscopy, ultrasonic testing, and X-ray imaging to assess the extent and nature of the failure. Once the failure is characterized, our team investigates the potential causes behind the failure with a multidisciplinary approach that can involve experts in mechanical engineering, metallurgy, electronics, chemistry, and other relevant fields. One of the many benefits of using Applied Technical Services’ failure analysis experts comes from the fact that we employ all of these experts, streamlining the process and minimizing costs for our clients.
These experts examine factors such as material properties, manufacturing processes, environmental conditions, and operational stresses that could have contributed to the failure. Depending on the extent of the failure, the consulting process may also include simulation and modeling to replicate the conditions that led up to the event. After identifying the potential causes, our failure analysis consulting team develops and presents a detailed failure analysis report that summarizes the findings of the investigation, including the root cause of the failure, contributing factors, and recommendations for preventive actions. Our thorough reporting is supported by scientific data, test results, and extensive documentation to provide a clear and comprehensive understanding of the failure and what caused it.
