This course provides an in-depth overview of metallurgical evaluation techniques used in metal failure analysis, focusing on identifying the root causes of fractures, corrosion damage, and manufacturing defects. Participants will learn the failure analysis process, explore how data is collected and interpreted, and apply these techniques to real-world cases involving fractured and corroded components, as well as quality control issues in manufacturing.
By participating in this course, you will learn how to successfully:
Explain how failure analysis data and conclusions are used to help identify the root cause of component failures and manufacturing quality problems.
Describe commonly used metallurgical analyses tools, how samples are prepared, how analyses are performed, and the data obtained.
Describe the background information needed when performing a failure analysis.
Explain how to select, collect, handle, and prepare samples for failure analysis.
Identify fracture mode for four common types of fracture surface features.
Demonstrate how to determine failure mode and failure mechanism.
Plan a failure analysis for component failures and manufacturing quality problems.
Who should attend?
This course is designed for design, quality, and manufacturing engineers involved with failure analysis of failed components and manufacturing quality problems.
Course Materials (included in purchase of course)
Digital course notes via ASME s Learning Hub
Supplemental Course Materials (not included with course, purchase separately)
Course participants are expected to have:
A computer and internet access.
A Certificate of Completion will be issued to registrants who successfully complete the course by achieving a passing score of 70% or higher on the final exam.
