Metal Failure Analysis
Why choose Copper Alloys for metal failure analysis
Our material failure analysis capabilities mean that reliability and integrity of our manufactured alloys are always of world-leading quality.
Each time we create a product it undergoes strenuous inspections. This makes sure that it matches the material specifications, relevant component drawings and other technical aspects laid out by the team.
We are certified by the British Standards Institution Quality Register to ISO 9001: 2015 AS9100. This means we are recognised for producing complex, leading materials and components that promise to stand the test of time. This means that the risk of metal and alloy failure is minimised. Our quality approach enables us to create and supply alloys which provide the best value throughout their lifetime.
Critical and swift analysis of failed components is key for many of the organisations that Copper Alloys work with. It’s imperative to keep essential infrastructure powered with suitable materials. Having materials correctly manufactured ultimately saves time and money while reducing operation downtime.
Destructive and non-destructive examination of failed components allows our team of experts to determine direct and indirect evidence of failure. Off the back of that, you are in the driving seat to suggest actions to prevent recurrence.
Destructive testing is the process of destroying a material to determine its point of failure, in this case an alloy. This is a particularly helpful strategy in alloys which are used where the risks of stress or corrosion is high.
Non-destructive testing is a technique which tests a material for weaknesses. This could be done using visual, radiography, magnetic or ultrasonic methods. Non-destructive testing is helpful in almost all industries in the world.
Our team of highly skilled metallurgists and engineers are experts in creating custom alloys from metals before creating associated parts. All the work goes toward creating turnkey solutions for any industry problem.
