Ding Testing & Inspection: Failure Analysis of Polymeric Materials, Ensuring the Durability of Industrial Materials

Failure analysis of polymeric materials is a specialized technical assessment used to diagnose failure issues in polymeric materials during actual use, identify the causes, and propose improvement measures. Ding Testing & Inspection's failure analysis service for polymeric materials is a professional technical evaluation aimed at thoroughly exploring the reasons for failure in polymeric materials and providing solutions to enhance material performance and reliability.

Service Introduction

Failure analysis of polymeric materials is a technical means to identify the root causes and mechanisms of failure in these materials. It covers various stages of a product's lifecycle, including research and design, incoming material inspection, processing and assembly, testing and screening, storage conditions, and customer usage. Through the analysis of samples, this service confirms failure modes, analyzes failure mechanisms, clarifies the causes of failure, and provides preventive measures to reduce or avoid recurrence of failures.

Failure Modes

  • Fracture
  • Cracking
  • Delamination
  • Corrosion
  • Blistering
  • Coating detachment
  • Discoloration
  • Wear failure

Failure Analysis Process

Failure Background Investigation:
  • What are the failure phenomena of the product?
  • What is the failure environment?
  • At which stage did the failure occur (design and debugging, pilot testing, early failure, mid-term failure, etc.)?
  • What is the failure rate?
  • Are there any historical failure data available?
Non-destructive Analysis:
  • X-ray radiography inspection
  • Ultrasonic scanning inspection
  • Electrical performance testing
  • Morphology inspection
  • Local composition analysis, etc.
Destructive Analysis:
  • Decapsulation inspection
  • Cross-sectional analysis
  • Probe testing
  • Focused ion beam (FIB) analysis
  • Thermal performance testing
  • Bulk composition testing
  • Mechanical performance testing, etc.
Usage Condition Analysis:Comprehensive analysis of structural, mechanical, thermal, environmental conditions, and constraint conditions.
 
Simulation and Validation Experiments:Design simulation experiments based on the identified failure mechanisms to validate the failure mechanisms.
 
Note: The scene and samples at the time of failure must be carefully protected to avoid secondary damage from mechanical, thermal, electrical, or other factors.
