There are many factors which can cause a metal component to fail. It is important for metal manufacturers to understand where their product is used and what obstacles it needs to overcome.
We have been creating custom materials since the 1940s. This experience makes us go-to experts for creating the perfect alloy for all environments. Our portfolio of alloys covers 250 made-to-measure materials and stems 170 different formats including bars, rings, tubes, and sections.
We have developed bespoke production techniques which meet demanding technical requirements in industries from marine defence to aerospace. Our in-depth metal and alloy failure analysis processes mean that our materials have the maximum integrity and performance.
Why do metals fail?
Typically, material engineering failure analysis refers to the root cause investigation of failure of a product or component. We focus on pre-emptive material failure analysis in a technical procedure which has been refined over decades of changing demands.
We put our alloys through vigorous tests to make sure that they can withstand their end environments.
Some of the most common reasons behind pure metal failure or impure alloy failure include:
High temperatures
Low temperatures
Excessive stress
Contamination
Fracture
Corrosion
Erosion
The varying failure causation factors mean that there needs to be an extensive range of metallurgical failure analysis strategies.
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.
