Failure analysis
Malfunctions in assemblies or products can occur in various stages of a lifetime:
- In the prototype stage
- During the development of series production
- During the production
- After the delivery
Depending on the product, already few malfunctioning units can cause high costs as a result of process changes, revalidation measures or claims of recourse. Many times there are only a few malfunctioning components available for analysis and the situation is time-sensitive. The failure mechanism on these components has to be localised and clarified through calculated analyses of the errors. With our long-term experience and extensive equipment, we assist you with the examination of malfunctioning components.
Reference examples:
- Corrosion damages on metal casings
- Leakage problems on adhesive bonding joints
- Glue delamination
- Examination of contacts
- Examination of residues and comparison with reference substances
- Detection of production errors
