About the Course
Do you get involved with metal failure analysis and get stuck at the metallurgical evaluation part of the process? If your answer is yes, this course is for you. This course will teach you how to perform a metal failure analysis.
The concepts you'll learn are applicable to failures that involve cracked, fractured, or corroded components and joints. The concepts are also applicable for determining the root cause of manufacturing quality problems.
The following aspects of metal failure analysis are taught:
- The common failure analysis techniques used to analyze metals and the data obtained from the analyses.
- How to determine failure mode and mechanism.
- How to select, collect, handle, and prepare samples for failure analysis.
- The background information required to determine failure mechanism and root cause.
- The common techniques used for failure analysis and the data obtained.
- How to determine fracture mode based on the appearance of a fracture surface.
- How to perform a failure analysis on fracture, corrosion, and manufacturing failures
Learners will be assessed by completing the modules and passing the final exam. A score of 80% or higher is required in order to receive a certificate of completion.
