Ding Testing & Inspection: Failure Analysis of Metallic Materials, Defending the Robust Shield of Industrial Safety

Failure analysis of metallic materials is a scientific method used to determine the causes of failure in metal components during practical applications, with the aim of preventing future failures and enhancing material reliability and safety. Ding Testing & Inspection's failure analysis service for metallic materials is a professional technical solution focused on accurately diagnosing the causes of material failure to improve product quality and safety.

Service Introduction

Failure analysis of metallic materials aims to investigate unexpected failures in metal materials and components during production and use. Through a series of analyses, validations, simulations, and reproductions of failure phenomena, this service helps manufacturers and users identify the causes and mechanisms of failure and provides recommendations to prevent future failures, reducing or avoiding their recurrence.

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.

Significance of Failure Analysis

  • Reduce and prevent the recurrence of similar failures in products to minimize economic losses and enhance product quality.
  • Provide reliable scientific and technological basis for adjudicating accident liability and formulating product quality standards.

Industry Pain Points

Failure of metallic materials not only causes significant financial losses for users but can also severely impact public safety, leading to consequences that are difficult to quantify. Failure analysis, through the analysis and validation of failed items, simulates and reproduces the failure phenomena to clarify the mechanisms of failure, confirm the root causes, and propose corresponding improvement measures and preventive strategies.
