Study Notes

Failure Analysis

Primary focus of failure analysis: to determine the root cause of material failure

Environmental Conditions and Material Failure

High temperature and humidity are environmental conditions commonly associated with inducing material failure
Examples of harsh environments that commonly induce material failure: high-temperature, high-humidity, corrosive, and radioactive environments

Operating Conditions and Material Failure

Examples of operating conditions that frequently cause material failure: cyclic loading, high-impact loading, and corrosive environments

Failure Due to Overload

Failure due to overload is focused on in Chapter [insert chapter number]

Failure Analysis Process

The process of failure analysis involves: examination of the failed component, review of the component's history, and identification of the root cause of failure

Failure Prevention

The first critical step in failure prevention is to design for reliability

Material Properties and Failure

Metallographic examination can reveal: material microstructure, defects, and material properties
Metals that lose strength at high temperature: aluminum alloys
Casting can create: defects and inclusions in the material

Failure Causes and Analysis

One potential failure cause is: poor material selection
Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) is used to analyze phases, inclusions, and corrosion products

Design and Material Properties

Correct design involves: selecting the right material for the application and designing for reliability
Cold working and forging create: residual stresses in the material

Examination and Testing

Before destruction for examination, the failed component should be: preserved and documented
Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) can reveal: material defects and damage without destroying the component
