Failure analysis is the evaluation of information pertaining to the failure of a mechanical or structural component. The failure analysis carefully examines the failed component, its design, its fabrication and its operating history for clues that help explain how and why the component failed. Since metals make-up the vast majority of mechanical and structural components, a metallurgist trained in failure analysis generally heads the analysis effort. Additional areas of expertise, such as mechanical, structural and chemical engineering are included on an as needed basis to handle multidisciplinary aspects of the particular analysis.
