Typically our failure analysis group lead by our principal metallurgist will establish responsibility and liability through investigations, gathering of information, experience, destructive, and non destructive testing. The primary physical cause of the incident or failure must be determined and any other contributing factors should be assessed and understood. Failure Analysis experts scientifically conduct an investigation to determine the cause or origin of the failure. Our failure analysis experts provide consultation, investigation, field assessment and testing, specialized testing, scientific analysis, technical reports, and courtroom presentations and serve as expert witnesses. When conducting liability investigations and failure analysis it is also crucial to employ latest technology and proven techniques which is a pursuit of excellence here at ATRONA.
