Failure analysis is an important activity to know the root-cause of problem. After the completion of the analysis, customers receive a comprehensive Failure analysis report with all findings from the investigation. This Report may include recommended actions to be taken with similar parts or materials so as to avoid its re-occurrence in the future. Failure Analysis Report will cover various facets of analysis such as description of the failed component, Conditions at the time of failure, mechanical and metallurgical data about the failed part, evaluation of the material quality, discussion of mechanisms that explain the root cause of the failure, Recommendations for prevention of future failures or for action to be taken with similar parts. In PTCS, such assignment is looked after by the competent metallurgist   and expert in the respective domain. Wherever SEM/XRD is needed for the in-depth analysis, it is normally outsourced from reputed organisation to which PTCS has collaborated.
