FAILURE ANALYSIS
Identification of damage mechanisms and root cause analysis
Failure Analysis
It consists of determining the failure mode and the physical mechanism that caused it (mechanical, assisted by the environment, etc.), based on the physical evidence present in the failed part.
Root Cause Analysis
It extends the scope of failure analysis by incorporating the evaluation of information collected on-site, operating history, component inspection and maintenance, interviews with plant personnel, and a review of other relevant background information. The objective is not only to determine the failure mode and mechanism but also the root cause and possible mitigation actions.
