Description
This course is designed
to bridge the gap between theory and practice of failure analysis.
This course presents a
very practical approach to failure analysis for the non-metallurgist as well as
for those who are new to the field
or those who want a
state-of-the-art update. It is also designed for technicians and those
interested in understanding how knowledge
of failure analysis can
lead to better productivity.
A comprehensive overview of
the field, this course covers three principal areas of interest: Procedures for
Analysis, Failure Mechanisms
and Failure in Product Forms
and Components. Causes of failures are explained with easy-to-understand
diagrams of stress application
and distribution. Many case
histories of failures and their elimination are highlighted throughout the
course.
