Metistec wikipedia damage analysis service
Damage analysis is a detailed examination process carried out to understand the causes of failure of a material or component and to take precautions to prevent similar failures from occurring again. This analysis is carried out by taking into account the basic damage mechanisms, which are fracture, fatigue, creep, deformation, corrosion and wear factors.
First of all, a preliminary assessment is made by examining the working conditions, material properties and production process of the damaged part. Then, the type of damage is determined by visual and microscopic examinations. The strength, microstructure and surface integrity of the material are evaluated with chemical analyzes, surface examinations and mechanical tests.
While fracture analysis helps to understand the causes of crack formation, fatigue tests reveal the effects of repeated loads on the material. Creep and deformation examinations determine deformations caused by high temperature or long-term loads. Corrosion and wear analyzes examine the negative effects of environmental factors and friction on the material.
In line with the obtained data, the root cause of the damage is determined and appropriate preventive measures are developed. In this way, similar failures are prevented in the future and system reliability and performance are increased.
