# Laboratory for the study of failures in the automotive industry

## Your needs: to carry out an expertise on a defect or a failure of your materials for the automotive sector

What is considered a product failure is a deterioration of the product. Indeed, it can be initiated by various internal problems due to manufacturing, customer feedback … etc.. Also, these problems impact the reliability, the solidity and the performances of products or materials. A failure can materialize under multiple forms: breakage of parts, corrosion mechanism, adhesion defect, presence of pollution, wear of materials, premature aging… So many contexts which will initiate in the industrialists of the automotive sector a need for expertise on the origin of this failure, then of research of solutions.
