Failure-Analysis.it  
Welcome in failure-analysis.it, the web site dedicated to the methods of Failure Analysis, a particular inquiry that, with several tests and observations, allows to detect the causes of breakage of components, understand the problem and propose the best solutions to avoid the repeating of conditions that brought the phenomenon to occur.

Failure-analysis.it is the referent to all those who have to face work anomalies of a component, it could be a dramatic breakage while working or even a simple aesthetic anomaly: when a component does not respect the expected work results, failure analysis can help to understand the reason why, and project the best solutions to prevent the repeating of anomalies.

Sail to know the Case history, consult the F.A.Q. to discover the most common questions in this field, discover the advantages in section Benefits or get more technical information in the Technical area; more suggestions for consulting are available in Guide map.

Highlights
Failure analysis on tank
Polymers
ductile fracture, melting point, high density polyethylene, DSC analysis, degree of curing, SEM scanning electronic microscope, polymer
The tank to be tested presented a superficial ductile  fracture, with different damaged parts around it. SEM view. Thickness determination. Differential scanning calorimetry DSC. Degree of curing determination.
 
Rubber ring testing
Polymers
Thermogravimetric test TGA, Polymer. Adhesive layer, Solvent, Polyurethane, Elastomer, Compound, Rubber, Wax, Oil, Mineral, Silicon
The ring to be tested consisted of two attached parts: a metallic ring and a polymeric ring. Our laboratory performed some exhamination of the adhesive layer on each the two attached surfaces, after being detached.
 
Blade wear
Mechanical
wear, sliding, blade, martensitic

One of the phenomenon that brings a component not to be useful for its purpose, even if it's not broken, is wear, that means "lost" of material consequent to the continuous sliding between two surfaces. Wear has consequences both on industrial field, and on personal usage of consumers, such as for example razor blades.

Breakage of a wheel shaft
Mechanical
wheel shaft, dull, granular, circular core

the failure analysis in the automotive industry, interests a lot of difference types frequently related with individual physical safety problems. In the following analysis the subject is the breakage of a wheel shaft of a scooter.

Galvanized joint
Mechanical
galvanizing, hydrogen, steel mechanical joint

The galvanizing, is on of the most used corrosion protection system for metals. This process must be made with high attention for the metallurgic aspects. In fact, above all if the material is high strength, it is possible to have a the hydrogen embittlement phenomenon.

Fastener breakage
Mechanical
fastener, thread, transversal hole

Fasteners: components used for any kind of machinery, it means very common. By the way the breakage of a fastener can cause serious consequences for the function of the machinery itself.

Drawing hook breakage
Mechanical
hook, bar, welding, deformation process

It must be an unpleasant experience, to see your drawing hook breakage. In case you need to know why, you should surely make a "failure analysis", which maybe can even tell you that you exceed in loading.

Welding failure
Mechanical
welding, joints, yielding, beach marks

Welding is a construction process frequently used, that if not well done, can cause defects or huge damages: in this case we talk about a failure of a fan of an oven.
