Failure Analysis
We treat the cause, not the symptom: In-depth analysis to identify the root causes of material failures, guiding you towards effective solutions and preventing future issues.
The Metallurgy MasterMind provides complete analysis, testing, technical reporting, and expert witness testimony services to investigate failures in structural components. Our customers include equipment manufacturers, users, industries, law firms, and insurance companies. Our extensive experience in root cause analysis and testing, augmented by our in-depth understanding of the design and performance aspects of mechanical equipment, enables us to provide a complete failure analysis service to our customers.
Material Testing
At T3M, we provide a full spectrum of mechanical testing and metallurgical evaluation services, all performed in accordance with relevant ASTM standards to ensure accuracy, consistency, and regulatory compliance. Our mechanical testing capabilities include hardness testing (ASTM E10 – Brinell, E18 – Rockwell, E92 – Vickers/Knoop, E384 – Microhardness), fatigue testing (ASTM E466 – Axial Fatigue, E606 – Strain-Controlled Fatigue), and tensile, compression, and shear testing (ASTM E8/E8M – Tension, E9 – Compression). For corrosion and wear analysis, we follow protocols such as ASTM G48 for pitting/crevice corrosion, G31 for immersion corrosion, and F732 for medical device wear. Metallurgical services include grain size (ASTM E112), inclusion content (ASTM E45), case depth (ASTM E1077), and fractography using SEM/EDS (ASTM E1508, E3). We also conduct advanced evaluations such as intergranular corrosion (ASTM A262) and passivation testing (ASTM A967).
