Failure Analysis
We are a leader in determining root cause analysis for material
failures. Our depth of experience allows us to evaluate field
failures, determine manufacturing process problems, detect defects,
test product life cycles, provide contamination analysis, and evaluate
environmental corrosion effects on products.
  
Failure analysis is the occurrence of a total failure requiring an
analysis to determine the cause of the failure. Root cause analysis often
involves an organized series of tests across
multidisciplinary areas. By offering a complete testing
laboratory and highly skilled staff, MES can quickly solve even the
most complex failures within one facility. Our laboratories
include light and electron microscopy, mechanical and electrochemical
testing, chemical characterization, and environmental testing.
By determining the source of the failure, we can help to prevent
future failures.
