About the Course

Join Michael Pfeifer, Ph.D., P.E.from 2:00 pm ET to 4:00 pm Eastern time for this webinar.

Struggling to determine the root cause of component failures and quality problems?

Do you know the steps to take to quickly solve component reliability and quality problems?

When you receive results from a metallurgical lab, do you know what to do next?

Metallurgical failure analysis is an important step in towards determining the root cause of component failures and quality problems. But, many people struggle with the steps to take to get the information needed to quickly determine the root cause of problems.

Learn how to perform a failure analysis

This webinar covers the steps of a metallurgical failure analysis, the equipment used, the data obtained, and how the results are used to determine the root cause of metal problems. Also, fracture analysis is covered.

Case studies of component reliability and quality problems will be used to help teach the concepts covered.

By the end you will better understand how to work with metallurgical labs on a failure analysis, how to participate in a failure analysis, and how to read failure analysis reports. You’ll gain confidence about what to do when a problem occurs. No longer does a problem have to drag on.

What You'll Learn

The following topics will be discussed:

  • Steps of a metallurgical failure analysis and how it fits in with root cause analysis
  • Common analysis tools used to examine metals, the data obtained, and how the data is used to determine the root cause of component failures and manufacturing quality problems
  • Four common fracture modes and their appearance
  • Common failure mechanisms associated with cracks and fractures

Case studies of fractured components and manufacturing quality problems will be used to help teach the concepts covered.

Target Audience

Design, reliability, manufacturing, and quality engineers

Registering for the Webinar

The fee is $125 per person. After registering you will receive an email within a few hours with information about how to access the webinar. In addition to the webinar, you'll get 7-day access to a recording of the webinar.
