Failure analysis is the process of collecting and analysing data to determine the cause of a failure, often with the goal of determining corrective actions or liability.
A failure analysis engineer often plays a lead role in the analysis of failures, whether a component or product fails in service or if failure occurs in manufacturing or during production processing.
The duration of the tests varies depending on the type of tests
Failure Analysis is based on the collection of failed components for the study of the cause or causes of failure using a variety of approaches, including Spectroscopy. Because analysis has no effect on rejected products, NDT methods are always used first in the inspection.
