Why use CMH Metlab for Failure Analysis Services
- Comprehensive and precise failure analyses: CMH Metlab has the latest technology and highly trained professionals to conduct comprehensive and precise failure analysis services for all types of components.
- Fast and efficient service: CMH Metlab has the capability to quickly assess the damage, identify the cause, and suggest the best corrective action. This helps to reduce downtime and keep operations running smoothly.
- Highly experienced team: CMH Metlab’s team of experienced engineers and technicians have extensive knowledge and experience in all aspects of failure analysis services.
Our Approach:
Every project is tailored to your specific situation and industry requirements. Our investigations typically include:
- Fractography & Microscopy: SEM and optical analysis to reveal fracture surfaces and microstructural defects.
- Metallographic Evaluation: Characterization of grain structures, inclusions, and heat treatment history.
- Mechanical Testing: Tensile, hardness, and other mechanical testing to confirm compliance with specifications.
- Chemical & Spectroscopic Analysis: OES, XRF, and FTIR to assess composition and contaminants.
- Corrosion Study & Assessment: Identification of environmental factors contributing to degradation.
- Electronic Component Failure: We can help identify the causes of failure in electronic components and assemblies when related to mechanical damage, overheating, contamination, or corrosion. For example, failures involving cracked solder joints, PCB corrosion, relay fractures, or heat-induced degradation can be effectively investigated.
**Please note: We do not perform root cause analysis of purely electronic or electrical circuitry malfunctions (such as internal semiconductor defects, firmware issues, or design-related electrical failures).
