Material Failure Analysis

Material Failure Analysis is the process of investigating why a material or component breaks, cracks, or loses its strength. It involves examining the failed part to identify the root causes, such as design flaws, manufacturing defects, or stress factors. This analysis helps engineers understand how and why failure occurred, enabling them to improve materials, design, and manufacturing practices to prevent similar issues in the future. Essentially, it’s a systematic way of learning from failures to enhance safety, reliability, and performance of products and structures.
