Need failure analysis done quickly? When time is against you can trust us to deliver results quickly and get your manufacturing and sales lines back on track.
We understand the importance of reducing manufacturing down-time and speed to market, so we work with you to quickly and efficiently resolve and understand failures. We also analyze explants, to investigate cause of failure in-use.
Troubleshooting
If you need product testing to analyze the cause of product failures, then look no further than our troubleshooting offering. With materials experts from a wide range of industry backgrounds, and a full suite of in-house analytical capabilities, we can help to find the cause of product failures, whether it be inherent in your product or caused by an external factor.
With in-house mechanical and chemical expert teams, you get a one-stop-shop with cross functionality to find the cause and solution to your product issues, whatever their nature.
Our failure analysis and root cause investigation services include:
- fracture, fatigue, & rupture diagnosis and microstructure investigations
- evaluation of corrosive failures
- characterization of surfaces and coatings
- identification and root cause of contamination
- evaluation of process issues and process optimization
- chemical, physical, mineralogical, and thermal analysis
- accelerated performance testing to predict failures
- 3DStrain – digital imaging technologies to characterize strains during testing
At Lucideon we perform extensive testing to predict and reduce failure risks in application. We also perform root cause identification of failures and recommend corrective actions.
We are experts in materials science and engineering and failure analysis and root cause investigation. We work with you to analyze failures quickly and effectively, whether after use, during manufacture, or at the R&D stage of product development.
