Metallurgical Analysis of Quality Problems and Failures Webinar
About the Course
Join us for this webinar from 2:00 pm to 4:00 pm ET
If you're responsible for figuring out why a component failed or fixing quality problems, this webinar is for you. You'll gain the knowledge that will help you get to the bottom of problems faster.
Metallurgical failure analysis of metal stock and metal components is an important step in the process of determining the root cause of component failures and quality problems. The information obtained during an examination is used to help determine the root cause of a problem.
By the end you will better understand how to work with metallurgical labs on a failure analysis, how to better 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 Will You Learn?
By the end of this webinar you will be have a better understanding of:
- How to select, collect, handle, and prepare samples for metallurgical evaluation
- Common metallurgical analysis tools, how they are used, and the data obtained
- How to perform a failure analysis for quality problems and fractured components
- Four common fracture modes and their appearance
- Relating fracture surface appearance to the fracture mode
Who Should Attend
This webinar is targeted to design, manufacturing, and quality engineers.
