Failure Analysis
Failure analysis can be carried out on an entire product or any of its specific component parts. The technique involves the process of collecting and analysing the relevant data in order to determine why the product or part has failed. It is utilised both in the development of new products and the improvement of existing ones. The process is vital in enabling manufacturers and others to determine what faults lie with products and to establish what corrective actions can be taken to prevent recurrence. It may also be used to establish liability for a failure. Analysis on failed components is carried out using a variety of methods, but the most notable ones used involve microscopy and spectroscopy. Failure analysis has applications in many industries, including manufacturing and its subsectors such as the electronics industry. It is also widely used in automotive technology, mechanical and electrical engineering, material science chemicals and industrial forensics.
