Failure analysis services

Chemical analysis Characterization of materials Problem solving

Would you like to carry out a failure analysis ?

What is a failure?

Whether it is initiated by customer feedback or by an internal manufacturing problem, a failure analysis requires the implementation of a methodological approach in order to identify the nature and origin of the defect and then to implement corrective actions. Failure can take many forms:

Rupture pieces

Adhesion failure

Corrosion mechanism 

Presence of pollution

Premature ageing test

These are all contexts that will trigger a desire first to understand and then to find solutions.

FILAB offers a methodological approach to meet this need for failure studies:

Our services

To carry out a preliminary investigation to collect all the necessary information for a better understanding of the defect itself and its context (nature of the materials, how the defect appeared and how the defect was detected...)      

Client assistance to come up with and possibly implement preventative or corrective procedures

To implement a complete expertise program allowing to verify the conformity of the materials being used and to analyze the defect in specific ways in order to identify it and diagnose its origin   

To properly carry out these studies, FILAB provides :

Multidisciplinary experts specialized in materials science, fine chemistry and inorganic chemistry

Access to an international database of techniques that can be consulted by our experts to find solutions to your problems

A cutting edge, complementary analytical fleet depending on the factors needing to be characterized.
